Caldwell was charged in February on accusations of shooting at an Oldsmobile on Spear Avenue near East 145th Street. Wakefield was strapped in a car seat when she was shot in the chest with a bullet. Her mother and 8-year-old sister in the car were unharmed.
A second suspect, Davon Holmes, 19, was charged in December by a Cuyahoga County grand jury for aggravated murder, attempted murder, felonious assault and drive-by shooting in connection to Wakefield's death. Holmes is being held on $2 million bond.
