Three adults and a 16-year-old boy are now in custody for the September 28 fatal shooting of a 3-year-old Ohio boy in Cleveland, according to reports.
On September 28, Luis Diaz was in his mother’s car on W. 66th Street near Denison Avenue when multiple shots were fired around 2:20 p.m.
The little boy was struck by a stray bullet and died from his injuries at MetroHealth Medical Center.
His mother and an 11-month-old sibling were also in the vehicle, but they were not injured.
28-year-old Devonte Parker was arrested by Cleveland police and U.S. Marshals on Monday, Oct. 2. He is charged with aggravated murder.
Cleveland police said Parker was also wanted for the May 21 murder of Jalen Dalton. He was shot and killed while sitting in his vehicle on E. 75th Street.
Two other adults, 34-year-old Juan Davis, Jr. and 30-year-old Katherine Treadway, were arrested over the weekend in connection with the murder of Diaz.
