A 19-year-old Pasco man involved in a retaliation gang shooting in May said he intends to become a productive member of society.

Juvenal Torres pleaded guilty Tuesday in Franklin County Superior Court to drive-by shooting and a reduced charge of second-degree assault.

Torres had been charged with first-degree assault. A third count of possessing a stolen gun was dismissed as part of the plea deal.

"I want to say I'm sorry to my family and let them know when I do go to prison, I'm going to take advantage of whatever they offer. That way, when I get out I will be a productive member of society," Torres said before he was sentenced.

Judge Cameron Mitchell told Torres he hopes he follows through, then sentenced him to the maximum term of four years and eight months in prison.

Torres and two co-defendants were arrested by Pasco police after multiple shots were fired from a Honda Accord toward a house at Fourth Avenue and A Street.

Rival gang members who were involved in a shooting in Kennewick the night before reportedly were visiting the home.

In the Kennewick incident, Torres and Jaime Tovar, 16, were with a group in a convenience store parking lot when a van drove by and someone opened fire on them, court documents said.

Tovar, who was wounded in the leg, was sentenced to three months in jail last month for second-degree assault. He since has been released.

A third co-defendant, Ivan Madred Valdez, 18, was sentenced to one year and three months in prison for second-degree assault and drive-by shooting.

Torres was sitting in the passenger seat of the car and fired a 9 mm pistol at the house.

"I intentionally shot at (the victim) while riding in a moving vehicle. ... I recklessly created a substantial risk of harm or death," Torres wrote in court documents.
