Terrell Gray, 25, Charles Walker, 26, and Kassius Williams, 18, are all charged with aggravated murder in connection with the fatal slaying of David Wilder, according to a warrant filed in Cleveland Municipal Court. 

The three men were in a black Volkswagen shooting at three others, including Tywain Johnson, 15, at East 79th and Woodland Avenue on Saturday as they were in a maroon Saturn.
