Plymouth teen, 16, jailed without bail for alleged shooting
May 16—PLYMOUTH — A 16-year-old boy suspected to be associated with a sect of the Bloods street gang was arraigned Thursday afternoon on charges he fired shots at two males in a passing vehicle earlier this month.
Shauntique Haskins, of Center Avenue, was captured and taken before Luzerne County Judge Michael T. Vough who arraigned him on four counts each of aggravated assault, simple assault and propel missiles into an occupied vehicle or roadway, two counts each of reckless endangerment and harassment and one count each of firearms not to be carried without a license, possession of a firearm by a minor and disorderly conduct.
Haskins was jailed without bail as he was deemed by Vough a danger to the community.
Police in Plymouth allege in court records Haskins was in the area of West Shawnee Avenue and Academy Street when two males known to him pulled up in a Toyota just before 4:30 p.m. May 8.
Haskins and the males are acquainted, court records say.
One of the males motioned to Haskins who, according to court records, pulled out a handgun from a backpack and fired shots at the Toyota as it turned onto Academy Street.
Several spent rounds passed through the rear windshield.
A state police trooper with the Troop P, Forensic Services Unit, recovered four spent shells at the scene.
Police in court records state Haskins, "is well known to the Plymouth police to be a violent gang member, identified as EBK," which means, "Everybody Killa," associated with Blood gang members.
No injuries were reported in the shooting.
