TOLEDO, Ohio — A suspect in the 2021 homicide of a north Toledo child has been indicted and charged as an adult on multiple counts, according to court documents.
A grand jury indicted 18-year-old Marquise Figures Jan. 4 on charges of aggravated murder, discharging a firearm on/near prohibited premises, murder, attempt to commit murder and two counts of felonious assault.
On Tuesday, Figures was arraigned in Lucas County Common Pleas Court and pleaded not guilty to all six of his charges. He's scheduled back in court on Feb. 13 at 9 a.m.
Figures, who was 15 at the time of the incident, is accused of shooting and killing 11-year-old Nathan Sumner in August 2021 while he and his 14-year-old brother were playing basketball outside their north Toledo home. Both were shot in the head.
The boys were taken to the hospital and Nathan died two days later. According to court documents, Miguel has permanent brain injuries from the shooting.
