INKSTER, Michigan (FOX 2) – A 22-year-old Detroit man has been charged in connection with the shooting death of a seven-year-old boy.

The boy survived the shooting, which occurred July 15 at an apartment in the 400 block of Tobin Drive in Inkster.

When officers arrived at the scene, they found the 7-year-old victim inside the home with a gunshot wound to the chest, according to a news release from the Wayne County District Attorney’s Office. The boy was taken to a local hospital for treatment.

Antwon Tyree Williams is accused of firing the gun, hitting the boy once in the chest. He initially fled the scene but was later arrested.

On Monday, Wayne County Prosecutor Kym Worthy announced the charges against Williams, including assault with intent to inflict great bodily injury, discharging a firearm in a building resulting in injury, careless discharge of a firearm resulting in injury and three counts of illegal use of a firearm.

“This is another case of a child being shot in a home where a gun was present,” Worthy said in the news release. “We tried pretty much everything to prevent this from happening. The adults failed this child.”

Williams was arraigned in 22nd District Court on August 7. He was held on $100,000 bail.

His hearing to determine whether there is sufficient suspicion of the crime is scheduled for August 21.
