LIZ NAGY: Kayden Swann is now out of the pediatric intensive care unit, which is huge progress for the toddler who just two weeks ago was in a medically induced coma. Now tonight, police say they have the man who shot him. Police say Deandre Binion was the enraged driver who started swerving in and out of traffic on Lakeshore Drive and firing his gun late on a Tuesday morning, April 6th. One of those bullets hit one-year-old Kayden Swann in the head. A gracious, good Samaritan rushed the bleeding toddler and his grandmother to the hospital, and as he did, police say Binion sped off. Quiana Farr said at the time, she couldn’t forget the shooter’s face.

QUIANA FARR: I know where he was. I didn’t know it is a– I haven’t slept in two days. I can’t sleep. I can’t close my eyes. It’s like a nightmare. It repeats over and over.

LIZ NAGY: That haunting memory helped police in their investigation.

BRENDAN DEENIHAN: This is just a complete stranger to her, but she was extremely cooperative with us. She gave us a great description, so we were eventually able to put somebody in a photo array. And then she does pick him out.

LIZ NAGY: This is the second time charges have been filed in this case. Earlier this month, police arrested Jushawn Brown on a weapons charge. He was driving the car with the young boy and his grandma riding with him.

JUSHAWN BROWN: When I pulled off to get away from him, that’s when he started shooting. Shot about five times.

– Jushawn, did you fire your gun?

JUSHAWN BROWN: No, no.

– Not once?

JUSHAWN BROWN: Not once.

LIZ NAGY: Investigators are now corroborating Brown’s account and say it was only the other driver Deandre Binion who fired shots. Doctors say Kayden Swann continues to recover. Tonight, police say the man who shot him is now facing multiple attempted murder charges.
