According to police, a 6-year-old was fatally shot in the head in his bed at his Lynchburg, Va., home.
Police say surveillance footage captured multiple suspects firing into the boy’s house Monday, just after 11 p.m. When police arrived, he was already dead.
Loved ones identified the victim as beloved kindergartener Kingston Campbell.
Fowler noted Kingston’s two older sisters were “right beside him” and witnessed him die doing something he loved: playing video games.
“This kid would literally sneak and be up on his Nintendo Switch at late night hours just so he can play Fortnite or Roblox. He didn’t care if it was a school night,” Fowler’s statement said.
“I’m hurt that it had to be my child, but I pray that no one else has to go through this pain that I have to. It’s going to be a struggle and a long journey ahead for me and my girls,” the statement continues.
Fowler added, “We will forever carry Kingston Ah’mon Campbell with us.”
