Three teenagers are expected to face charges for their alleged involvement in a fight and shooting late Tuesday afternoon in Vancouver’s Kevanna Park neighborhood.
Damari T. Robins, 18, and Rae’Shaun M. Bolds, 19, face potential charges of first-degree assault and drive-by shooting.
Depree R. Smith, 19, was arrested on suspicion of the same allegations as well as unlawful possession of a firearm.
But at an initial appearance in Clark County Superior Court on Wednesday morning, Senior Deputy Prosecutor Jeannie Bryant said only the firearms charge may be filed, although prosecutors could choose to add charges as the case progresses.
Officers were dispatched at about 4:15 p.m. to the 3500 block of Northeast 109th Avenue for the report of a disturbance with a gun, according to a Vancouver Police Department press release.
Witnesses told police that several men were fighting, shots had been fired and the suspects drove off in a silver vehicle. No one was injured.
“Officers located shell casings and a vehicle with several bullet holes in it,” according to a police news release.
The silver vehicle was located a short time later in the 9600 block of Northeast 73rd Avenue. Vancouver police, Clark County deputies and SWAT officers descended on the location, and then “several individuals exited an apartment and were detained,” police said.
A search warrant was executed on the apartment and the vehicle, and officers located two guns.
Bryant said each suspect has at least three prior criminal convictions.
