PORT HUENEME : 17-Year-Old Sought in Shooting Incident
Port Hueneme police are offering a reward of up to $1,000 for information leading to the arrest of a 17-year-old boy wanted for shooting at another teen-ager last month.
The youth is suspected of firing several shots at the other teen-ager May 19 as he fled down the 1500 block of Park Avenue. The 18-year-old was not injured, but one bullet pierced his shirt, police said.
The alleged shooter was accompanied by an 18-year-old Port Hueneme man who turned himself in 30 minutes after the shooting.
The 18-year-old has not been charged with any crimes. “The district attorney wants the shooter,” Sgt. Jerry Beck said.
Police know the identity of the suspect but are prohibited by law from releasing it, Beck said. Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of the 17-year-old Port Hueneme boy is asked to call 385-8255, 986-8255 or 986-6530. The tipster can remain anonymous.
