Derrice Alexander Jr., a 2-year-old boy from Cleveland, was shot and killed inside a CMHA housing unit at West 28th and Division on June 10, 2014. The shooting occurred during an argument between the child’s parents; the bullet struck the toddler in the apartment and he later died at Lutheran Hospital.

Derrice Alexander Sr., 23, was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. A $3 million bond was set and he was ordered to have no contact with the child’s mother. Court filings noted prior domestic violence arrests and that Alexander Sr. had been released from parole seven months earlier on a felonious assault conviction; he was allegedly carrying a gun at the time of the shooting. Cuyahoga County Children and Family Services had been called to the home in May 2014.

What details about the events leading up to June 10 might help explain how the child remained in that environment, and does anyone have information about the family or the housing complex?
