Hudson County Prosecutor said the boy was shot once in the chest inside Green-Sims home, however was found outside on the sidewalk.
“It appears that somebody removed the victim to that location,” De Fazio said, adding that the boy was likely still alive when he was moved. “That, of course, is a very critical part of the investigation.”
Green-Sims, 38, was home at the time of the shooting along with another child, De Fazio said. The prosecutor said is not yet certain who else was there or who fired the weapon.
“We have an indication already as to who was there, the question is was there anybody else?” De Fazio said.
