![Man kills 4-year-old on assumption that he is gay
A North Carolina man is accused of killing a 4-year-old boy on the assumption that he is gay, according to WRAL.
Peter Lucas Moses, 27, led a “religious” group of women and children and according to the report, they feared him.
Moses shot 4-year-old Jadon Higganbothan in the head in fear that the child was gay. According to prosecutors, Moses assumed that the child might be gay because his father had left his mother. He told the mother, Vania Rae Sisk, to “get rid” of the child.
Prosecutors said that Larhonda Renee Smith, 40, told Moses that Jadon had hit another child’s bottom. After hearing this, Moses became angry and started walking around the house with a gun. Later, she told him that he had hit another child’s bottom.
“He starts screaming, ‘I told you to get rid of him!’” and told Sisk, “‘How am I going to do this?’” [District Attorney Tracy Cline] recalled the witness’ account.
Moses ordered two of the women to set up computers and speakers in the garage, prosecutors said they were told by the witness. They said he started playing music with the Lord’s Prayer in Hebrew, took Jadon in the garage and shut the door, and the women then heard a gunshot.
Prosecutors said the witness told them that the women helped clean up the body of Jadon, who had been shot in the head, and put it in a suitcase in Moses’ master suite. He later told them to get the body out because it was beginning to smell, prosecutors said.
Moses also killed Antoinetta Yvonne McKoy, 28, after he learned that she couldn’t have children and wanted to leave the group.
Sisk, Smith, and Lavada Harris face charges of first-degree murder for McKoy’s death and accessories in Jardon’s death.

North Carolina school changes policy to allow gay couple to attend prom
A high school in Boonville, North Carolina has changed its policy to allow a gay couple to attend the school’s prom. The new policy does not specifically state that it allows same-sex couples. Instead, it allows students to bring a “guest.”
Chase Wall, a student at Starmount High School in North Carolina has been looking forward to attending the prom on May 1 with his boyfriend, Jordan Beam.
According to the report by FOX8, The principal told Wall that he could not bring his boyfriend to the prom. Beam’s mother confronted the school about the issue, and threatened to get the ACLU and the media involved.
The principal left this message on Beam’s mother’s home answering machine:
“We are going to allow Chase to bring, I guess it’s your son, as his outside date and what we are probably going to have to change about our policy is just to allow any student to bring a guest and not necessarily call it a date.”
Many people in the town disagreed with school’s decision.
According to the report, school administrators refused to talk to FOX8 on camera, but they did say that they had a no-discrimination policy.
