DETROIT (FOX 2) - Three men accused of committing a Detroit drive-by shooting that killed a child over the summer are due in court for a preliminary examination Wednesday.
A judge in Detroit's 36th District Court will decide whether Demontrel Wilson, 30, Deonate Cherry, 28, and Terrance Blue, 28, should stand trial for the shooting death of 6-year-old Rylee Love.
The backstory:
Around 9 p.m. on July 27, Detroit police responded to the area of Anglin Street and Stender Avenue for a report of gunfire.
Officers were flagged down by relatives at a home in the 17400 block of Anglin Street, where they found Love inside a bedroom suffering from a gunshot wound to the head.
Rylee Love, 6, was killed in a drive-by shooting on July 27, 2025.
Love was transported to a hospital, where he later died.
Investigators said the suspects reportedly fired multiple rounds from a vehicle into a group of people standing near the intersection. The gunfire struck the home, killing Love, who was playing inside at the time.
Dig deeper:
Three weeks after Love's death, Wilson, Cherry, and Blue were arrested and charged with conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, first-degree murder, conspiracy to discharge a firearm from a vehicle causing death, and discharging a firearm from a vehicle causing death. Wilson and Blue were also charged with possessing a firearm while being felons.
