CANTON, Ohio (AP) — A second suspect is in custody in the fatal shooting of a 2-year-old girl in her Canton home.

Police say 20-year-old Maki G. Ragland was arrested at his mother’s home in Canton on Saturday.

Police say Ragland and another man, William H. Ferguson, both of Canton, entered the girl's home Thursday night and demanded money. The toddler, Harmoney Sankey, was shot and killed, and her grandfather was assaulted and shot in the leg.

Both men face charges of aggravated robbery and aggravated murder.

Ragland and Ferguson, who is 21, remained jailed Saturday night, each in lieu of $5 million bond. It wasn't immediately clear whether they had attorneys.

Stark County Court records show Ragland had been found innocent June 24 of shooting two men in a January robbery.
