Prince George's County Police arrested three men in the fatal shooting of 8-year-old Peyton John “PJ” Evans, who was gunned down last month in Landover, Maryland.
Twenty-one-year-old Desmond Nkwocha, 23-year-old Mark Nkwocha and 23-year-old George Shamman were all charged by police.
Evans was killed while playing video games inside his Prince George’s County apartment on Aug. 24.
A $35,000 reward was offered for information that would lead to an arrest in the case.
“My baby is gone," PJ's mom Tiffani Evans told 7 News Maryland Bureau Chief Brad Bell. "That’s all I had that’s all I lived for. Understand me? I sacrificed so much in my life for that little boy and now my son is gone to some coward dudes that wanted to do some coward things instead of being a man.”
Friends remember PJ as a positive light in everyone's life.
"Just a happy little boy who loved playing football, his little ATV and shoes,” a friend described.
