16-Year-Old Waives Hearing in Girl’s Shooting Death Case
A 16-year-old Dana Point boy charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a teen-age girl waived his right to a preliminary hearing Thursday in Municipal Court.
Raymond Seferino Naranjo, who was recently ordered by a Juvenile Court judge to stand trial as an adult, now faces arraignment in Orange County Superior Court later this month. He is being held in custody on $50,000 bail.
The boy has pleaded not guilty to a charge of involuntary manslaughter in the Dec. 13 shooting death of 15-year-old Angela Lynn Wagner of San Clemente. The girl was shot once in the chest as she sat in a car in front of a Capistrano Beach apartment complex waiting for her boyfriend to run an errand.
Prosecutors have said they believe the shooting was unintentional, the result of carelessness. The boy was on probation at the time of the shooting and under orders not to have a weapon.
