VANCOUVER – On Wednesday (Oct. 28) at around 5:45 a.m., Vancouver Police responded to the area of W. Evergreen Blvd./Jefferson St. for the report of a shooting. No injuries were reported and no victim was located. A shell casing was found in the street.
Vancouver Police patrol officers were able to identify the intended target of the shooting and obtained a description of the suspect vehicle. While the shooting investigation was underway, officers were dispatched to a stolen vehicle call. A woman reported that her teenage son had stolen her vehicle sometime during the night, had just returned home with two of his friends and that the three of them had taken off on foot. The stolen vehicle matched the suspect vehicle involved in the drive-by shooting.
The three teens, ages 13, 16 and 17, were located by police, were positively identified by witnesses, and were subsequently booked into the Robert L. Harris Juvenile Justice Center for Attempted Murder first-degree, Drive-By-Shooting, Taking a Motor Vehicle Without Permission second-degree, and Obstructing a Law Enforcement Officer.
