One of the suspects charged for the murder of a 9-year-old girl appeared in Cleveland Municipal Court on Saturday morning for his arraignment hearing.

According to court records, a judge set the bond for 19-year-old Devontae Nettles at $2 million dollars. He will remain behind bars until bond is posted. 

Nettles is one of four suspects currently in custody following Saniyah Nicholson's death. Police say she was struck by a stray bullet during a shootout between two groups on Wednesday. She was sitting in her mom's car across the street at the time. 

Anyone with information on this case is asked to call the Cleveland Police Department at 216-623-5464 or Crime Stoppers at 216-252-7463.

A cash reward of up to $20,000 may also be available.
