Kingston was found dead inside his mother Ebony Archie’s stolen Toyota Camry located in Madison County, about 15 miles away from the supermarket in Hinds County. Kingston was left alone in the car while his mother went inside the supermarket. Before she could understand what had happened, an unidentified man sat in her car and drove off with Kingston sleeping on the backseat. An Amber Alert was issued for the child after his mother reported the matter to police. However, he was later found dead.

Dwan Diondro Wakefield, 17, DeAllen Washington, 17, and Byron McBride Jr., 19, were arrested and charged with capital murder in Madison County. Hinds County District Attorney Robert Smith said Tuesday he was filing charges against the accused.

“There is obviously surveillance with the suspects in the parking lot and taking possession of this vehicle, and the turn of events that happened after that. We have to look at the timelines,” Smith said, according to WAPT.com.

All three suspects were denied bail Monday after they made appearances at Madison County Justice Court. Prosecutors are seeking death penalty for all three of them. Investigators suspect Kingston was shot by McBride Jr. However, the suspected shooter's father maintained his son’s innocence.

“No weapon was found on my son,” McBride Jr.'s father said. “How can you name my son? It’s wrong. My son didn’t kill that boy, but y’all are going to kill my son,” he told reporters after the hearing Monday.

Kingston attended North Jackson Elementary School and was reportedly due to graduate from first grade May 18 — the day he was found dead.

"The Jackson Public School District is deeply saddened by the tragic death of North Jackson Elementary scholar Kingston Frazier," JPS spokesman Sherwin Johnson reportedly said at the time. "He was loved by his classmates and teachers and will surely be missed. The District is providing grief counselors to the students and staff of the school. We ask all citizens to keep the Frazier family in their thoughts and prayers."

Velma Eddington, Kingston 's great-aunt, said the family was thankful for people’s support but said his death was the result of evil.

“Everyone that was praying for us, that we would find Kingston alive, we want to thank everybody for that, but this is, really, this is, it’s hard to know that people out there are evil, that would kill a child. That’s evil,” Eddington said, according to USA Today. “That baby hadn’t done anything to him. That baby hadn't done anything. They could have left that child in that backseat, asleep. They didn’t have to kill him. Those people are evil. Evil. They need to find that other one before we find him…it’s evil what they did.”
