The 24-year-old Ypsilanti Township man accused of firing off two rounds at a car with four small children in it had his preliminary examination rescheduled Tuesday, according to court records.
Michael DeShawn Haywood and his co-defendant, 25-year-old Jason Mayleben of Ann Arbor, both had their preliminary hearings moved to April 23.
The men are charged with two counts of assault with intent to murder, two counts of assault with a dangerous weapon, carrying a concealed weapon, possession of a firearm in the commission of a felony and felony firearm.
A 26-year-old Wayne man with whom Mayleben had fought a week prior to the shooting was the actual target, police said. At 9:45 p.m. on Feb. 16, Mayleben and Haywood saw the man driving in Ypsilanti Township and followed his vehicle to the area of Parkwood Avenue and South Harris Road, police said.
Haywood is accused of shooting at the Wayne man, missing and hitting his vehicle where there were four small children inside. No one was injured in the incident.
Mayleben is free on $25,000 bond and Haywood is free on $20,000 bond.
