Two ordered to stand trial in Bay Point shooting of baby, bail lowered by 75 percent

MARTINEZ — Two men who were charged in a shooting where a baby was struck by gunfire have been ordered to stand trial, but had their bail lowered significantly, records show.

Teron Simon, 19, of San Francisco, and Daysaun Williams, 18, of Bay Point, were ordered to stand trial on charges of attempted murder, child cruelty, and several more shooting-related counts. Their bail was also lowered from $2.42 million to $600,000, according to court records.

Simon and Williams were arrested after a police helicopter spotted them in a field near a shooting on the 3600 block of Desanie Circle in Bay Point. Police say the suspects and victims were associated with two different homes on the block and that groups from both residences began to argue.

At some point, Simon and Williams allegedly began firing into the other home. A woman was struck in the foot and a 7-month-old baby was grazed in the shooting, police said. Both victims survived.

One resident returned fire but wasn’t charged, records show. The suspects allegedly fled into a nearby field and were arrested shortly thereafter. Williams reportedly denied any knowledge or involvement while Simon flat-out refused to speak to police.
