(CBS DETROIT) — A Detroit father is facing a slew of felony charges in connection to the non-fatal shooting of his 2-year-old son.
Darius Daron Shantez Lacey, 25, is charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder, two counts of assault with intent to do great bodily harm, one count of first-degree home invasion, one count of fourth-degree fleeing and eluding, and five counts of felony firearm.
According to police, at about 5:45 p.m. on Nov. 26, Lacey attempted to force his way into the home of his son’s mother in the 550 block of Dickerson Avenue. Officers patrolling the area attempted to pull Lacey over for having improper plates, but he drove away from the scene.
Later that night, at around 6:30 p.m., Lacey allegedly returned to the residence. During an argument with his son’s mother, Lacey reportedly forced his way into the home and fired a handgun several times, striking his son in the leg. The child was treated at an area hospital.
Lacey later surrendered to police on Nov. 27.
He was arraigned Friday and given a $500,000 bond. Lacey is back in court for a bond re-determination hearing on Tuesday. He also has a probable cause conference on Dec. 9 and a preliminary examination on Dec. 16.
