5-Year-Old Boy Shot In The Face Multiple Times Alongside His Parents In Detroit Home

Five-Year-Old Boy Shot “Execution Style” Alongside His Parents During A Home Robbery

A boy and his parents were fatally shot and killed inside their home during a robbery earlier this week, leading to the arrest of two teens involved in the crime.

Detroit investigators said in a statement that the bodies of Lashon Marshall, 28, and her son’s stepfather Aaron Benson,32, were found Sunday morning after a relative went to the couple’s home for a wellness check.

After noticing that the back door was kicked in, the relative entered the home to find the couple inside and found the body of five-year-old Caleb Harris in a separate room. Officers said the boy was shot multiple times in the face.

Detroit Police Chief James White added that two male teen suspects, aged 16 and 17,  have been arrested for the crime after officers obtained a warrant and noted that the pair knew the couple.

“We have high confidence the individuals are responsible for this heinous act,” he said.

Caleb’s father, who lives out of state, was saddened to hear the news according to Caleb’s grandmother, Shalesa Floyd,

“He loved to travel with his dad and with his mom,” she said. “He was her only child. He’s only 5, so he had not much life to live. For you to shoot a 5-year-old in the face? Twice? You could have let him go so he could remain and live. To do this — it’s like a monster would do this.”

Lashon’s mother, Yvette Sewell,  was also murdered in October. A GoFundMe was launched by the family to help with funeral expenses.
