Baby found in car of suspects in assault

Three suspects were charged after a traffic stop early Christmas morning. Officers were dispatched to East Avondale Avenue toward Gibson Street in response to a report of a dark-colored car chasing and shooting at another vehicle.

There were five occupants in the dark-colored car, including an 18-month old baby, who was later taken into custody of Mahoning County Children’s Services. Officer Mohammad Awad observed a handgun on the floorboard of the car beneath the baby’s car seat. Three of the occupants were questioned separately, and Vashuad May, 13, of East Auburndale Avenue, and Anthony Stigal, 19, of East Florida Avenue, were charged with felonious assault, and Jalisha Wylie, 18, of Crumlin Avenue Girard, mother of the baby, was charged with child endangerment.
