Suspect in Wynter Smith's death charged with 20 felonies by Michigan Attorney General

LANSING, Mich. (FOX 2) - Rashad Trice, 26, the suspect in the death of a 2-year-old Lansing girl has been charged with 20 crimes, including first-degree murder which carries a mandatory life-sentence.

The Attorney General announced the charges against Trice Friday after saying she would take over the case due to the number of jurisdictions that Trice allegedly committed crimes in.

Along with murder, he was also charged with assault, criminal sexual conduct, and kidnapping counts.

"We have alleged today, and our many charges reflect, a horrific and brutal crime spree from Lansing to Detroit to St. Clair Shores," said Dana Nessel. "I remain appreciative for the coordination with Prosecutors Dewane, Lucido, and Worthy for their commitment to a singular, victim-centered prosecution that prioritizes and respects the tragic experiences of the surviving victims and the family of Wynter Cole-Smith."

The slew of charges comes nearly three weeks after Trice sexually assaulted and stabbed a woman before kidnapping her 2-year-old daughter, later identified as Wynter Smith. It happened on July 2 in Lansing and Trice was arrested in St. Clair Shores after a police chase.
