ELYRIA — Elyria police have identified two suspects in an incident Wednesday that resulted in a stray bullet entering a home and narrowly missing a 5-year-old girl.
Shamille Craighead
Shamille Craighead, 21, and Dominique Sharpe, 21, both were charged with aggravated riot, a fourth-degree felony. The charges came after police were called about the incident, which apparently started with a fight at a gas station.
Police said Craighead and Sharpe were part of a group of several men and one woman who were fighting at the Shell gas station at 905 Lorain Blvd.
Later, police were called back by the Shell clerk about a possible shooting.
Police searched and found a live bullet in the driveway of Pepsi Beverages Co. on Lorain Boulevard. They also received a call about a bullet going into a home at 538 Bell Ave.
Five-year-old Alyna Santo Domingo was sitting in her mother’s bedroom when a bullet traveled above her head, striking the bedroom wall and eventually lodging in a bedroom closet door. Her mother, Janis Santo Domingo, called police.
Dominique Sharpe
Police said both Craighead and Sharpe admitted to being a part of the group involved, but neither admitted to having any involvement in the shooting or possessing a firearm.
Craighead lives near the Santo Domingo family, at 651 Bell Ave. Sharpe is also an Elyria resident at 1877 Turner Blvd.
Both men were being held at Lorain County Jail with $5,000 personal bonds.
Officers are still investigating the case and are looking for the other suspects. They said they are looking into a possible motive for the original fight. After speaking with the two suspects, police believe the bullet entering the Santo Domingos’ home was random, police said.
