Teen accused of shooting 16-year-old in the back at Kennewick mobile home park
A 17-year-old was arrested for shooting another teen in the back earlier this month at a Kennewick mobile home court.
The 16-year-old was wounded at the Garden Vista Mobile Home Park on July 8, according to a Kennewick news release and dispatch reports.
It’s believed that the teen was in a car when he was shot.
Detectives tracked the 17-year-old suspect to the 1400 block of South Fir Street where they arrested him on Friday.
They also searched the home for additional evidence.
The 17-year-old was booked into the Benton-Franklin Juvenile Detention Center on suspicion of first-degree assault and illegal gun possession.
