Charges added against Las Vegas teens in graffiti shooting case


LAS VEGAS Additional charges are being filed against two Las Vegas teens in a graffiti gang shooting.

Police now say 18-year-old Chaz Jenkins and 19-year-old Justin Pearce will face assault with a deadly weapon and criminal damaging charges.

Jenkins and Pearce are already being held at the Clark County jail -- since their arrests last week in the early February 26th shooting left two other teens wounded.

They were originally charged with attempted murder and discharging a firearm from a motor vehicle.

Police blamed the shooting on a turf battle that stemmed from two rival graffiti taggers crossing off graffiti near U-S 95.

The two groups fought -- and then one group fled in a vehicle.

The other group chased them -- firing at the car.

That's when police say the two victims were wounded.
