Donell V. Hill, 19, of the 3400 block of Jayne Lane; Anfernee D. Knight, 18, of the 5700 block of Woodside Road; Kenneth T. Vinson, 22, of the 500 block of Deans Street; and Demetrius Spells, 22, of the 200 block of Kenmore Street, all in Wilson, were charged Tuesday with first-degree murder and held without bond.
Another man, Montavius Syquan Davis, 24, of the 7700 block of Gardners Schools Road in Statonsburg, was charged with first-degree murder on July 24, a day after the boy died.
Police did not provide details Wednesday on what led to the additional arrests.
Kamari Jones was in his bedroom when someone started firing bullets outside his home about 10 p.m. One of the bullets struck the boy in the head, according to neighbors who heard his mother’s cries for help and called 911.
No one else was hurt, but the rear window of a car parked outside the home was shot out.
