The boy attends Windmill Point Elementary School. The boy's mother was not injured.Detectives said Hawkins showed no remorse after learning of Williams' death.Neighbors Describe Dramatic Scene"The first couple (of shots) sounded more like fireworks, then all of a sudden a few minutes later, I could hear, 'Pow, pow, pow, pow,'" said a neighbor who preferred to remain anonymous.Added another anonymous neighbor: "I saw him come out of the house and get in his truck and drive away. I went over to see what happened. I saw the little boy on the ground."The shooting happened at about 7:30 p.m., prompting an intense manhunt that stretched for several hours until about 1 a.m., when investigators caught up with Hawkins at another girlfriend's house a few miles away at 10123 Southwest Brookgreen Drive.Neighbor Samori Williams told WPBF 25 News' Chris McGrath the scene was dramatic."When they said he was still on the loose, I said we better lock all our doors and windows because we don't know where he's hiding," he said. "He could be in anybody's backyard. It's no joke; anybody can hide."Hawkins was booked into the St. Lucie County Jail at about 5:30 a.m., facing serious charges and offered no bond.History Of ViolenceTuesday's shooting was not the first incident of gun violence in this family.According to a police report obtained by WPBF 25 News, Hawkins was the target of gunfire in December of 2012. The suspect in that case was his ex-girlfriend's brother, Jamar Young.And just a few months ago, Hawkins got into a fight with Williams."There was a history between the one victim, Mr. Williams, and Mr. Hawkins, an altercation where a gun was drawn allegedly by Mr. Williams on Mr. Hawkins," Beck said.Police said the two men were fighting over money.Police Seek MotiveInvestigators told WPBF that Hawkins confessed to the crime and blamed it on disrespect.Hawkins told police he was holding a grudge over two incidents where members of his girlfriend's family pulled guns on him.When Hawkins' search for Jamar Young turned fruitless, he then turned his anger on his ex-girlfriend, whom he claimed disrespected him by hanging out with the wrong crowd, police said.Investigators said the final straw for Hawkins was when his ex-girlfriend got him the wrong order from Burger King."It kind of escalated to the point that he pretty much lost control," Beck said.LIST: America's 100 Most Dangerous Cities: Florida Has 11:
