An innocent 2-year-old Michigan girl who was shot in the head as men argued over spilled juice has died, a hospital spokesperson said.
Little Makanzee Oldham spent days on life support after she was hit by a stray bullet Wednesday while seated in a car with her father and several other people in Detroit.
The problems started when 32-year-old Antoine Smelley dumped juice over a woman’s head just as she was getting ready to leave a Fairmount Drive home go to prom, prosecutors said.
Smelley began waving a gun and threatening the woman — and soon Cleveland Smelley, 30, and Deonta Bennett, 21, showed up and started a fight inside, the Detroit Free Press reported.
The fighting moved outside, according to MLive, and sometime during the brawl Bennett handed a gun to Cleveland Smelley who allegedly fired the shot that hit the tot.
Bennett, Antoine Smelley and Cleveland Smelley were arrested on eight counts of assault with intent to murder.
Bennett and Cleveland Smelley also face felony firearms charges, while Antoine Smelley was hit with two counts of felony assault and a firearm offense.
A spokeswoman for the Wayne County Prosecutor’s Office said that the charges would be amended to murder in light of the toddler’s death.
The three Detroit men are being held without bond and are due in court again in June.
Smelley — who knew the victim’s father — has a prior criminal history and was released from parole last year.
Prosecutors said they didn’t know the motive for the juice-dousing that sparked the violence.
There was an SNL skit about those kind of names. The punchline was, “It’s pronounced ahs-wee-pay!”

Poor baby. RIP.
Ain’t they proud of their little rhyme ?

Smelley....you can’t make this **** up.

I’d like to thank all the proud Confederates for importing the ancestors of these animals by the shipload. Seriously, it was a brilliant idea to bring over people whose idea of problem-solving has involved semi-discriminate physical violence at least since before gunpowder was invented.
Hey....when the Amish get pissed, they don’t fool around...it’s just lucky that they didn’t start a horse stampede!!!
This is clearly the fault of the juice.
All you have to know about the odds of inbreeding among many blacks you can extrapolate fron the Maury show. It is normal and common for men to father children with many women. If they don’t know who their fathers are how will they know who half brothers and sisters are? Then they all hook up randomly and continue the cycle. Is it any wonder there is so much emotional retardation, low IQ and mental problems?
n00b, please!
That would stink...
Detroit and Chicago are making old west Arizona look like it was a Sunday School class.
I like the name Globe, Arizona, but it was a dangerous place.
Hahahahah! I've been to Cleveland.
It is!
“Imagine being stuck with Smelley for a surname.”
A few years ago the Crimson Tide had a player named Brad Smelley and I used to think the same thing.
He’s in the NFL now so i figure his life is pretty good:) Good guy too.
