15-year-old Donald Ray Dokins appeared in court Friday, charged with killing a 1-year-old boy and injuring the boy's father.

Angel Cortez Nava was fatally shot in the stomach as his father cradled him. The father, 24-year-old Mauro Cortez, was hit in the shoulder.
The judge set bail at $3 million.
