Witness testimony in one of the cases alleged Jeffries and Cook fired more than 20 rounds into Landyn's home due to beef Jeffries allegedly had with another person outside the home.

One of the bullets struck Landyn, who was 8 at the time, in the head while he was upstairs playing video games in his home.

The case will now move forward in circuit court.
