The two men accused in the shooting death of a Lexington toddler have had their cases waived to a grand jury.
It was an emotional morning in court as the family of 2-year-old Nova Gallman listened to a detective sum up the moments that led to the shooting death of the young girl.
Gallman had asked to sleep beside her family’s Christmas tree. Detective Steve McCowan recounted the moments leading up to the shooting.

McCowan states that Marquis Thurman and Adrian Dunn came to the home off Kenton Street, with guns to buy narcotics. The boyfriend of Nova’s mother, answered the door. That’s when a physical altercation broke out. Shots were fired and a bullet struck Nova as she slept.
During the testimony, McCowan stated that another gun was taken from the home, a semi-automatic. Only one gun is currently in evidence but the other two are missing.
It’s currently unclear who fired the gun that hit the toddler.
Both men are now only facing one assault charge as the other was upgraded to murder. They’re also facing a robbery charge.
