A Santa Maria teenager was booked into juvenile hall after the teen fired shots in front of several residences this week, according to police.

On May 29, a 911 caller reported a male firing a handgun in front of a residence on the 800 block of W. McElhaney Avenue. Officers arrived to  find the teen had entered the house.

Officers established a containment area around the residence and brought in a crisis negotiation team. The juvenile then exited the residence and was arrested and booked into juvenile hall.

During the investigation, officers located a Glock 22 handgun with an obliterated serial number in the juvenile’s bedroom. Officers also determined the teen was involved in a similar incident on May 28.

Another ‘dreamer’ anchor…no nombre due to age….sad shoota-maria…..


Racist much? I don’t see in the article where they mention his race or citizenship status. But you see Santa Maria crime and just assume it is an illegal immigrant. Un-f*cking believable. You and your kind are disgusting.


What’s up, puto.


You left out pinche.


According to the left, which is you, a “dreamer” is not an illegal immigrant, but a legalized (by convolution of the law) citizen.


Seems, YOU, are the one assuming illegal status. Disgusting indeed.


Don’t worry young man . A Liberal Democrat judge, will set you free. Your age / skin color will help big time .


You just assume he is a minority because he is in Santa Maria and committed a crime? Suck a bag of Ds, Warren.


Show me a white or Asian family living on McElhaney Ave.
