A 14-year-old male remains jailed on a $1 million bond in connection with the shooting of another teen in Old Town Saginaw.
Tanorris T. Lee is charged as an adult with assault with intent to murder and three firearm offenses in the early Aug. 30 shooting of a 17-year-old male on North Hamilton between Hancock and Court.
The victim suffered five gunshot wounds, including one to the neck and two to the chest, about 12:30 a.m., police have said. He ran home and then was transported by a privately operated vehicle to a local hospital, police said.
Michigan State Police detectives from the Major Crimes Unit conducted the investigation, which included interviewing the victim and “other people who we determined were in the vicinity,” said Chief Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Boyd.
“We were able to piece together some information,” he said.
The investigation also included examining city-owned surveillance cameras installed in Old Town in 2015. Boyd said last week that the only camera that had a good angle of the shooting “was a considerable distance away” and produced only “grainy” images of the parties involved.
State police investigators on Friday arrested Lee and brought him before Probate Judge Barbara L. Meter, who presides over the court’s juvenile court, police said. At that point, prosecutors requested a five-day waiver to determine whether to charge him as an adult, Boyd said.
Boyd on Wednesday morning said his office on Tuesday decided to charge Lee as an adult and automatically waived the jurisdiction of his case from Meter’s court to adult court. Boyd said the decision to charge Lee as an adult was “based on his violent past and the fact that the victim in this case was shot multiple times.”
