Two teenagers and one adult with known gang ties are facing multiple charges for a drive-by shooting that left two children seriously injured last year on Dudley Avenue. 

Jeron High, 18, and two 16-year-olds are charged with multiple counts of attempted murder and felonious assault, participating in a criminal gang, improperly discharging into habitation, and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle, according to the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.

They face up to 132 years if convicted on all counts. High has been indicted on the charges. 

Elizabeth Davis, 9, and Savannah Davis, 3, were shot Oct. 4, 2016, at home in the 7300 block of Dudley Avenue. Elizabeth was shot in the head while she was inside. Savannah was shot in the forehead while sitting on a woman's lap on the front porch.

Police say High and the two juveniles were trying to shoot at rival gang members when they shot the two children.
