YOUNGSTOWN — Two juveniles now are charged in the early Wednesday shooting of a girl in her bed in the 800 block of East Avondale Avenue.
Kasean R. Wilkerson, 16, of East Lucius Avenue, and Xavier Hile, 16, of Buckeye Circle, both had initial hearings Thursday in the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center on charges of felonious assault and discharging a firearm at or into a habitation, school or safety zone. Both charges carry specifications that could add time to their detention if the allegations are found to be true.
Not-true pleas were entered for both boys during their hearings, and both were ordered to remain in juvenile detention. Their next hearings are not scheduled yet.
