In re H.B. CA4/2

FACTS

In March 2023 the district attorney filed a petition under Welfare and Institutions

Code section 602 alleging that Minor, in January 2023 when he was 17 years old,

committed attempted premeditated murder against six separate victims and personally

used a hand gun and a long gun in committing the offenses. (Pen. Code, §§ 664, 187,

subd. (a), 189, 12022.53, subd. (b).) The petition also alleged Minor on that same date

personally discharged a firearm at an inhabited dwelling. (Pen. Code, §§ 246, subd. (a),

1192.7, subd. (c)(8).) The district attorney sought to transfer jurisdiction to adult court

(Welf. & Inst. Code, § 707); after a hearing in January 2024 the juvenile court denied the

transfer motion.

2 In February 2024 the petition was amended by interlineation to add allegations

that on the incident date Minor negligently discharged a firearm and carried a loaded

firearm in public or in a vehicle. (Pen. Code, §§ 246.3, subd. (a), 25850, subd. (c)(6).)

Minor admitted those allegations at a hearing the same day they were added and the

court, on the prosecutor’s motion, dismissed the remaining allegations.
