The defendants were all arraigned and remanded to jail on Saturday, Aug. 23, 2025.
On July 27, 2025, at around 8:58 p.m., Detroit police officers were called to the scene of a reported shooting at the intersection of Anglin Street and Stender Avenue.
Upon arriving, officers were urgently flagged down by relatives from a residence on Anglin Street regarding a child who had been shot.
Rylee was found in a bedroom with a gunshot wound to the head.
Medics transported him to a local hospital, where he later died from his injuries.
“Rylee Love was the ultimate innocent victim,” Worthy said. “The alleged actions of these defendants directly caused his senseless death. I have said many times that bullets have no eyes or sense of direction. The bullets in this case struck a child playing in his house and he will not see another day.”
The Probable Cause Conference is on Sept. 2, 2025, and the Preliminary Examination is on Sept. 9, 2025, both before Judge Shawn Jacque.
