The 11-year-old boy shot in the head while he slept died early on Feb. 16 at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, Chamblee Police Chief Marc Johnson said in a statement.
Two suspects in the shooting who were originally charged with aggravated assault will now be charged with murder, Johnson said.
Nicholas Sheffey was shot around 12:30 a.m. on Feb. 11 in his home at 3773 Admiral Drive in Chamblee.
Three people have been arrested in connection with the shooting, which police said was done in retaliation for the December home invasion robbery of drug dealers at Gentry Walk apartments in north DeKalb County. Devin Sheffey, Nicholas’ older brother, has been charged with the robbery and was arrested on Feb. 11.
“During our investigation we found that Nicholas’ older brother robbed drug dealers on Dec. 22,” Johnson said. “We believe he was the target of the shooting and that it was arranged in retaliation of the robbery.”
Chamblee Police on Feb. 11 arrested 18-year-old Cody Dane Bauer, who they allege fired seven shots into the front bedroom window of Nicholas’ older brother. All seven bullets passed through his bedroom and through an interior wall into Nicholas’ bedroom. One of the bullets stuck Nicholas in the head, Johnson said.
Stedmund Anthony, 19, was arrested around 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 12, by Chamblee Police. Police said Anthony drove Bauer to the home where Sheffey was shot.
Alexander C. Sidloskas, 19, was arrested Feb. 16 and charged with party to the crime of murder in connection with the death of Nicholas Sheffey and aggravated assault against Devin Sheffey, the intended target in the shooting, Johnson said. Sidloskas was one of the drug dealers who were robbed, Johnson said.
Both Bauer and Anthony are in the DeKalb County Jail under $100,000 bonds.
Cody was raised by two parents who utterly failed him. In particular, his mother is without question the most lazy, unproductive, selfish egocentric (look that word up kids) life-drain of a person I've ever known. Cody and his siblings were raised like wild animals with no rules, structure support or guidance which so many of you reading this resent in your own lives. The result in Cody's case is a young man who had a world of potential who now sits in prison and will die at the hands of our penal system. He will die on death row kids. Plan on it.
I blame Cody for not having the critical ability to re-write the lifetime of maturing into the societal failure his parents allowed him to become. I blame Cody for not being able to pull of the virtually impossible task of undoing the damage his parents did him....not by beating him or starving him.....but by sitting on their asses and watching him turn into a wild animal. Your parents have justa few years to make your lives hell. Let's call those years 6-12 grade. Those are the years where your parent steer your boat in the right direction or the wrong one. If this sounds like your parents and you hate them for it, drop to your knees and thank god you have them in your life. In just a few years you will have a full understanding of why they were such complete a$$holes. It's because you are loved. If on the other hand, your parents let you roam free, and you do what you want whenever you want to do it, then prepare yourself for a life of financial crisis, failed relationships, a job you dread and most likely.......another generation of loser kids just like yourself. You'll likely be the reading blogs like this one, pertaining to your kid who is on death row, being raped & shanked in prison. Think how nice that will be.
Only the toughest kids.....the "one percenters".....have the strength to accept they are in that group...Cody Bauer's group. If that's you, keep reading. So how tough are you? Do you have enough strength to do something about it.....on your own? If you do, are you aware that regardless of the plan you choose there will be pain and difficulty? Will you fold at the first sight of that? I know what I'm talking about here. I too was in Cody's group, and I chose a new path. Only the really bad a$$ kids can take the wheel with two strong hands and say to themselves, "I'll be in control of my life.......I'll be moving forward toward at least one goal which will better my life." Just one goal that has a positive outcome. Make it short term, just to get a taste of success and accomplishment. Something manageable. Give up a vice.....save a certain sum of money, find someone in need and routinely assist them, read a book about something you lack understanding, make a raise a grade in a class, save $500.....you get the picture?
Cody will die in federal prison as a ward of the state. He fired a gun into a house, 7 rounds. A child died. That makes him the worst scum of our society. Let's just call it how it is folks. But I know this better than anyone on this string. I knew that scumbag Cody when he was a beautiful little boy with th eworld infront of him......just tlike the one he recently killed. That little boy Cody had choices in front of him in middle and high school....his decision to run with the other filth of Dekalb County proves beyond question that Cody was too weak to recgnize his family set him up to die. Too bad. Now we all have to kill him to protect the children that are still alive.
i am debbie's niece, i don't appreciate anybody saying the things they have said about them. if you don't know the whole damn story shut the f--k up
