Mainstream media outlets have yet to cover the brutal Sunday night execution of a five-year-old North Carolina boy named Cannon Hinnant, allegedly at the hands of 25-year-old\u00a0Darius Sessoms, sparking the hashtag\u00a0#SayHisName<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0to trend on social media Thursday morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

As\u00a0The Daily Wire<\/a><\/strong><\/span>\u00a0reported on Tuesday,\u00a0Sessoms, who is black, allegedly walked up to young Hinnant, who is white, and shot him in the head at point-blank range in front of the child\u2019s 7- and 8-year-old sisters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sessoms lives next-door to the victim\u2019s father in\u00a0Wilson, North Carolina.<\/span><\/p>\n

CNN<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0NBC<\/a><\/strong><\/span>,\u00a0CBS<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0ABC<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0New York Times<\/strong><\/span><\/a>,\u00a0NPR<\/a><\/strong><\/span>, The Washington Post, and\u00a0MSNBC<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, as of Thursday morning, have yet to cover the attack.\u00a0Fox News<\/strong><\/span><\/a>\u00a0has covered the tragic news.<\/span><\/p>\n

Some have argued that the lack of coverage is because of the races of the victim and the alleged murderer.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Tuesday, author and Daily Wire podcast host Matt Walsh brought attention to the murder via Twitter, using the now-viral phrase, \u201csay his name.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cSay his name. 5 year old Cannon Hinnant was executed in cold blood while riding his bike,\u201d posted Walsh. \u201cThe accused killer is Darius Sessoms. He allegedly walked up to the boy and shot him dead in front of his sisters.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReverse the races and this is the only thing anyone talks about for a month,\u201d he argued.<\/span><\/p>\n
