“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.
