A high schooler was granted no bail in the shooting death of a toddler at a playground. Rondell "Spidy" or "Spyder" Pinkerton is only 13 years older than his alleged victim, Lloyd Morgan, 4, but Pinkerton was treated very much like an adult criminal in his first court appearance late Wednesday afternoon.

Pinkerton was charged with second degree murder, second degree attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon. That gun, investigators said, Pinkerton had confessed to using.

"He admits to firing a 45 caliber handgun," Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly said at a news conference Wednesday. "He admits to firing the gun at the scene."

Investigators say Pinkerton was in a shootout at a basketball court in the Forest Houses public housing project on East 165th Street just before 9:40 Sunday night. The court was packed, ironically, with people participating in a charity tournament and barbecue to raise money in the name of a girl who had been stabbed to death in Forest Houses last year.

A playground a few yards from the basketball court is where stray bullets from the gun battle struck. One of them hit Little Lloyd, as his family calls him, in the head, killing him. Police say that Spyder Pinkerton was not the only one involved.

"Right now we believe [there were] three shooters, three guns were used," Commissioner Kelly said. "We found .45 caliber shell cases .380 shell cases and .25 caliber shell cases. A lot of other people we hope to speak to today" in their quest to bring everyone involved to justice, the commissioner said.

His detectives also arrested Courtney Kelly, 26. Investigators said that Kelly was also involved in the gun battle at the basketball court. He was charged with attempted murder and criminal possession of a weapon, and was injured in the shootout.

Exactly why it happened, police are still trying to fully figure out as they continue to question the half dozen or so people they've taken into custody. Still, investigators say they have gotten some idea.

"This, in some way, shape or form was part of a retaliation," said the commissioner. "Two neighborhood groups, you can't call them gangs, because they are not gangs in a classic sense, but young men who hang out and do some low level drug dealing, having a dispute. We think this is at the heart of the shooting where Llyod Morgan was killed.

The family of Little Lloyd, as they call him to distinguish him from his father, Lloyd Sr., announced Wednesday afternoon that Rev. Al Sharpton had agreed to give the eulogy at the boy's funeral. A statement from Rev. Sharpton said that he intended to use the eulogy to speak out against gun violence.

Rondell "Spidy" "Spyder" Pinkerton's next court appearance is scheduled for July 30th.
