A vigil for 5-year-old shooting victim Nizzel George drew a large crowd, raw emotions and unanswered questions Saturday afternoon in the Twin Cities. The boy died Tuesday as he was sleeping on his grandmother's couch in North Minneapolis when her house was riddled with bullets. Two teen boys have been arrested in connection with the shooting.

A 17-year-old and a 15-year-old have been charged with murder in last week's shooting that claimed the life of Nizzel George in north Minneapolis. According to a criminal complaint, the 17-year-old told a witness that he fired at the house where the young boy was sleeping last Tuesday.

Police are seeking the killer of a 5-year-old boy who was shot while sleeping on a couch in a north Minneapolis home Tuesday morning. The gunman sprayed the house with bullets and fled, police say. It was exactly six months to the day that 3-year-old Terrell Mayes Jr. was shot by a bullet that was fired into his home.

A grand jury has indicted a Minneapolis teen on a charge of first-degree murder in the June death of the 5-year-old boy shot as he slept on his grandmother's couch. If Stephon Shannon, 17, is found guilty of the charge, his automatic sentence would be life in prison without hope of release.

Family of Terrell Mayes remember the three-year-old as an energetic child who liked to watch Spongebob Squarepants cartoons. But those speaking at his funeral Wednesday also say he's another reason to halt violence.

The first-degree murder charges against Stephon Terrell Shannon and an unnamed 15-year-old detail retaliatory street justice that police and community leaders say led to 5-year-old Nizzel George's death last Tuesday, when the shooters allegedly fired at the boy's house as payback for an earlier shooting. It's a culture of silence and retribution that police and others decried as they urged more witnesses to come forward, the Star Tribune reports.

Seventeen-year-old Stephon Shannon is charged with aiding and abetting murder in connection with the death of Nizzel George, 5, who was shot and killed while sleeping on his grandmother's couch in north Minneapolis.

Hundreds of people gathered Saturday in honor of three-year-old Terrell Mayes. A stray bullet struck the toddler when he was inside his family's home in North Minneapolis last Monday. KARE 11 reports Sen. Amy Klobuchar and other elected officials attended the vigil, that included music and candles. City officials also promised to continue their search for the person responsible. A $1,000 reward is still being offered for information that leads to an arrest.
