CLEVELAND, Ohio (WOIO) - The two people charged in connection to last week’s shooting that left a three-year-old boy dead in Cleveland’s Stockyards neighborhood were arraigned in Cleveland Municipal Court Monday morning.

Juan Davis, Jr., 34, pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and Katherine Treadway, 30, pleaded not guilty to murder.

The judge issued a $2 million bond for Davis, and a $500,000 bond for Treadway.

The charges come following the Sept. 28 shooting, which took place around 2:20 p.m. in the 3500 block of West 66th Street.

Luis Diaz, of Cleveland, was inside a car with his mother and an 11-month-old sibling when shots rang out.

Diaz and a man standing outside the car were struck.

Cleveland EMS transported both victims to MetroHealth Medical Center, where Diaz was pronounced dead. The man’s injuries were non-life threatening.

Cleveland police and the U.S. Marshals are also searching for a third suspect, Devonte Parker, 28.

Parker is wanted on a charge of aggravated murder.
