A 26-year-old gang member has been charged with the fatal shooting of 7-year-old Heaven Sutton.
Jerrell Dorsey, of the 1600 block of North Laramie Avenue, was charged with one count of first-degree murder and one count of aggravated battery with a firearm, police said.
Judge Adam D. Bourgeois denied Dorsey, 26, bail during a brief hearing Sunday.
Around 10 relatives of the murdered little girl stood at the back of the courtroom to watch the hearing.
They taunted Dorsey as the hearing ended.
“You ain’t gonna sleep!” Heaven’s mother Ashake Banks yelled out.
Speaking outside court, Banks praised the judge’s decision to deny Dorsey bail.
“He’s gonna eat baloney sandwiches...and the rats and the roaches (will) bite his ass,” she said.
She advised Dorsey seek to be placed in protective custody inside the jail.
