ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. (KRQE) – A jury found a 16-year-old guilty of multiple felony charges on Tuesday after they shot toward a couple's vehicle following a hit-and-run crash in which the teen fled from in May, according to the Office of the Second Judicial District Attorney.

The incident began when a couple’s vehicle was rear-ended by a Chevrolet Impala at a stoplight near Rio Grande and I-40. The DA's office said the Impala fled the scene, and the couple followed it and took photos of its license plate to report to police.

That's when the teen, who was a passenger in the Impala, used an AR-style handgun to fire at least two rounds toward the couple’s vehicle.

Police found the suspect vehicle with the teens still inside and recovered a gun during the arrest.
