An Everett teenager was charged as an adult Friday with drive-by shooting following a series of shots fired at houses in the Everett and Snohomish areas.
Two other people are under investigation in connection with the shootings.
Colby Rider, 17, appeared before a judge earlier this week in the Charles Denney Juvenile Justice Center. His case was shifted to adult court Friday after deputy prosecutor Chris Dickinson filed a complaint in Everett District Court.
Dickinson is asking for $100,000 bail for Rider, who was charged with one count of drive-by shooting and one count of being a juvenile in possession of a firearm, both felonies.
Also jailed was Byron August Ross, 18, of Everett, who is being held on $500,000 bail. Ross is under investigation for multiple counts of drive-by shooting and burglary.
A 39-year-old woman told sheriff’s deputies she was with Ross when he purchased a gun, and also was present when some of the shots were fired, according to court records. She was arrested earlier this week but posted $10,000 bail and was released from the Snohomish County Jail.
At least two people narrowly missed being hit by bullets fired at their homes, Dickinson said.
In one case, a 90-year-old woman was hit by wood debris in her kitchen. In another, a bullet penetrated a child’s bedroom just above the youngster’s head, prosecutors said. The cases are under investigation.
