(WWJ) Two suspects accused in the slaying of a 7-year-old girl in Detroit are facing charges, while one of them remains on the loose.
The Wayne County Prosecutor's Office announced it has filed premeditated murder and weapons charges against 19-year old Emmett Williams, Jr. of Detroit and 22-year old Christion Mitchell-Childress of Southfield.
Investigators say the men drove down Bedford Street late last month and fired shots into the home of Reginae Williams, as she slept on the sofa in the living room. The child, who was shot in the back of the head, died in the hospital.
