Detectives found several firearms, some of which were confirmed to be stolen.

Three of four suspects have been arraigned and charged with multiple crimes including assault with intent to murder and could face up to life in prison.

They were each issued a $1,000,000 cash bond and a GPS tether with home confinement.

The 1-year-old girl is expected to recover after being shot in her foot and leg during what her great-grandmother calls a targeted attack on her home at the West Point Mobile Home Park on October 1.

Canton detectives coordinated with the Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF), Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI), Michigan State Police (MSP), Northville Township Police Department, Livonia Police Department, and the Washtenaw County Sheriff's Office to identify the suspects.

Their next court appearance is scheduled for October 30, 2026, in the 35th District Court.

The 19-year-old has not yet been arraigned.
