$500K bond set for 2 men accused of shooting six-month-old Garfield Heights baby

CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The two men accused in the shooting that injured a six-month-old girl and her father pleaded not guilty at their arraignment in Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas Wednesday.

Khayree Sullivan, 22, and Kameren White, 22, were indicted on five counts of felonious assault and three counts of discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises.

A third man was also indicted; however, all charges against him have been dismissed.

The shooting occurred just before 5 p.m. on Sept. 21 on Langston Avenue near E. 111th Street in Garfield Heights.

The girl’s father, who was also shot, was holding her at the time of the shooting, said police.

According to police, the man was treated for a gunshot wound to the hip, while the girl was life-flighted to MetroHealth Medical Center.

The prosecutor announced in court Wednesday the baby died from her injuries; however, they then recanted that statement.

Family members told 19 News the baby is now home from the hospital.

The judge ordered Sullivan and White held on a $500,000 bond and they are scheduled to return to court on Oct. 17.
