The sheriff’s office said two persons of interest were detained for questioning. Deputies said at the time that they found evidence that shots were fired, and were working to determine who fired those shots.
The sheriff’s office said on Sept. 6 that Joey Prieto, 20, of Bennett was facing charges in connection with the shooting. The district attorney’s office said he was facing three counts of attempted murder and one count of carrying a concealed weapon.
The sheriff’s office said “it was determined that although the shooting occurred in a public area, it was between individuals known to each other.” They said the shooting was “an isolated incident.”
A nearby school was put on lockdown as a precaution during the investigation. Students were at the school for a volleyball game and other after-school activities. The district canceled classes for the next day due to the shooting.
Prieto pleaded guilty Nov. 14 to misdemeanor charges of carrying a concealed weapon and disorderly conduct, according to court documents. He was sentenced to probation. The other charges against him were dismissed as part of the plea agreement, court documents say.
