A suspect in an Orlando drive-by shooting last August that killed a 19-year-old man and a 6-year-old girl will be in court Monday for an arraignment hearing.
Tyrik Omari Nichols was arrested in September in Colorado.
Nichols is one of five people arrested in the Aug. 29 shooting, with the other four suspects being Nico Brown, Kny Adams, Brandon James Pickett and Ricky Raymond Bowery Jr. All five face charges of first-degree homicide stemming from the shooting.
Police said Ajahliyah Hashim, 6, and her mother were shot in their home and taken to a hospital, where the girl later died. A third person, 19-year-old Isaiyah Wright, was dropped off at Health Central in Ocoee and was later pronounced dead.
The department said the girl and her mother were not the intended targets of the shooting after the shooters went to the wrong home.
“This is basically the 438 gang arguing with the Carver Shores Boys and they’re basically doing it on social media on a live platform arguing back and forth, those guys get mad, jump in the car go down there and do a drive by shooting and go to the wrong house,” Chief Eric Smith said during a news conference.
