More charges could be entered against a 19-year-old man accused of a drive-by shooting in Pasco.

Deputy Prosecutor Teddy Chow told the court that he is considering filing more charges against Juvenal Torres.

Torres already is charged in connection with a drive-by shooting, possession of a stolen firearm and assault in the first degree.

If the case proceeds to a trial, Chow said he likely would file at least two counts of first-degree assault and a gang aggravating factor and a firearm enhancement that could add time to a sentence if a jury found Torres guilty of those charges.

Torres' lawyer, Matt Rutt, said he would object to any added charges. Such charges would be inappropriate and would mean Rutt would need more time to prepare than the trial date of Oct. 19 would allow.

Torres is accused of firing several rounds May 31 from the front passenger seat of a Honda Accord toward a house at Fourth Avenue and A Street. The home is said to be visited by members of a rival gang involved in a shooting May 30 at a Kennewick Sun Mart.

Police and court documents said the May 31 incident was in retaliation for what happened the night before.

Two other men already pleaded guilty in the shooting.

Jaime J. Tovar, 16, was sentenced in Franklin County Superior Court to three months in jail for second-degree assault. He has served the time and was released.

Ivan Madred Valdez, 18, got a 15-month prison sentence for second-degree assault and drive-by shooting.
