MARYSVILLE — Prosecutors have charged a second teen with drive-by shooting for gunfire at a Marysville house in February.
Nearly a dozen .40-caliber shell casings were found in the roadway outside a house in the 3600 block of 73rd Drive NE. A witness reported seeing the shots come from a white car.
Prosecutors allege that Nathan Boswell, 18, was behind the wheel. He was charged earlier this week with drive-by shooting, a felony. He has prior misdemeanor convictions, including fourth-degree assaults.
His 15-year-old cousin is accused of firing the handgun from Boswell’s car. The Herald is not naming the boy because he is charged as a juvenile.
Police found the teens a short distance from the house. Their car had a flat tire. They initially denied knowing anything about the gunfire. Officers found a .40-caliber handgun along a fence line near the car. The teens were arrested.
A man at the house told police he had confronted the 15-year-old about some slashed tires. The boy allegedly said that he would “put a bullet in (the man’s) head.” The teen allegedly flashed a gun at the man the day of the shooting.
