Monday, a 4-year-old boy from Camden was shot in the head and killed while he was outside his home, running toward his mother. According to the Houston Chronicle, authorities informed that the kid and his friends were outside playing when a gun fight began. They ran to take cover and while the 4 year-old boy was running toward his mother, he was hit.

“Why would you start shooting when there are kids around? My baby's dead. He didn't deserve to die,” said the boy’s mother Stephanie Thompson.

The man who is thought to have shot the boy was arrested in Philadelphia around 5 a.m. Tuesday. Donald Benjamin Lindsey, 20, was charged with murder and authorities are looking for another suspect. Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk said that Lindsey came to the 1600 block of Norris Street in Whitman Park armed with a semiautomatic handgun around 5:20 p.m. Monday, reported the Cherry Hill Courier Post.

Faulk also said that Lindsey got into a dispute with someone but he was not sure whether the dispute was over drugs or gangs. Authorities know for sure that two people and two weapons were involved in the gun fight. Faulk said that police recovered 9 mm casings of more than two dozen shots on Norris Street. One bullet hit the 4-year-old boy Brandon in the head as he was heading towards his mother. He was the only victim.

The tragedy happened five days after the state Attorney General's Office and the Camden Police Department said he would try to make the community a safer place by adding police officers on the streets and improving crime response.

The city of about 80,000 has had 36 murders this year. Camden was twice named the nation's “most dangerous” city, and Attorney General Anne Milgram has described its crime rate as “unacceptably high,” reported the Huston Chronicle.
