California Boy, 10, Fatally Shot by 10-Year-Old Friend After Bike Race | Video

*A California mother is speaking out after her 10-year-old son was fatally shot by another boy, age 10, who opened fire after losing a bike race. 

“I screamed for hours after I saw my child on that ground, because I could just see that he had no chance,” the child’s mother Brittani Frierson said, per NBC News. “I just knew that my child was gone.”

The shooting occurred Saturday afternoon in Foothill Farms, located about 16 miles northeast of Sacramento. The juvenile killer shot Keith “KJ” Frierson using a stolen gun they found in Dad’s car.

The grieving mother said another child told her that the shooter became angry when he lost the bike race and stormed off, only to return moments later with a gun. That’s when he shot KJ in the neck, Frierson said.

The boy “took a gun from inside the vehicle and bragged that his father had a gun,” the sheriff’s office said in a statement. “He then proceeded to shoot the victim once and ran into a nearby apartment.”

The shooter’s father, Arkete Davis, 53, allegedly tried to dispose of the weapon in a trash can, the Sacramento County Sheriff’s Office said. The man and his child, whose name is being withheld because he’s a minor, were taken into custody after the shooting. 

Davis “was booked on suspicion of possession of a firearm by a felon, criminal storage of a firearm, carrying a stolen loaded firearm in a vehicle, child endangerment and acting as an accessory to a crime after the fact, according to inmate records,”  NBC News writes.

Frierson said her son and the shooter were friends, which makes this case exceptionally heartbreaking. 

She claims the suspect’s father was “careless” with a firearm.

“For you to be so careless, to have something like that — a gun — easily accessible to your 10-year-old child, it just says a lot about you,” Frierson said about Davis.

The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office reportedly told the mother that the child accused of killing KJ won’t face charges.
