Three men face murder charges in the July 27 fatal shooting of a six-year-old boy on Detroit’s east side.
Detroiters Demontrel Benard Wilson, 30, Deonate Cornealous Cherry, 28, and Terrance Jaland Blue, 28, face multiple charges in connection with the shooting death of six-year-old Rylee Love.
On July 27, around 9 p.m., authorities allege the three men fired multiple rounds from handguns out of a vehicle into a group of people standing near the intersection of Anglin Street and Stender Avenue. A stray bullet struck Rylee in the head as he played in a bedroom of a home in the 17400 block of Anglin Street down the block.
The suspects were arrested Wednesday.
The trio face charges of conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, first-degree murder, conspiracy to discharge firearms from a vehicle causing death, and discharging firearms from a vehicle causing death. Wilson and Blue have also been charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person.
“Rylee Love was the ultimate innocent victim,” Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy said in a statement. “The alleged actions of these defendants directly caused his senseless death. I have said many times that bullets have no eyes or sense of direction. The bullets in this case struck a child playing in his house, and he will not see another day.”
The three were arraigned Saturday and wee being held in the Wayne County Jail. A preliminary eamination is seto for Sept. 9.
