As we previously reported, 6-year-old Coby was nearly killed when his neighbor Ryan Le-Nguyen allegedly opened fire as the kid picked up his bike from the sidewalk. Ryan Le-Nguyen, was reportedly pissed Coby and a friend had left their bikes in front of his home.
The neighbor allegedly chased him with a sledgehammer, and then fired a gun, hitting him in the arm. Nguyen was arrested but then released after bonding out. The incident went down over the weekend in Ypsilanti, Michigan — about 35 miles outside Detroit. Prosecuting attorney Eli Savit told TMZ that the boy could have easily been killed in the incident and breaks down the argument he made Thursday in court to get bail increased to $100,000.
Many people were outraged to learn about the $10K initial bond. Even prosecutors say they requested a $100k bond, but were shocked the judge gave Le-Nguyen $10k. Thankfully, he’s back in custody and off the streets.
Meanwhile, Coby is home and is expected to make a full recovery.
