Lewiston police arrested two male juveniles in connection to gunshots fired Wednesday night in the area of Horton and Ash streets. Both are charged with reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, a gun.

The two juveniles charged, both 15, are repeat offenders who were already on conditions of release for previous gun-related charges, Lt. Derrick St. Laurent said.

One has had more than 70 police involvements in the past two years, including eight arrests, he wrote on Facebook.

Both were charged with the reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon and violation of conditions of release and remain in custody at Long Creek Youth Development Center, he said.

Police detectives and officers assigned to the Community Engagement Accountability initiative worked throughout the night Wednesday and Thursday to identify those responsible for the shooting.

An involved vehicle was identified through a Flock camera, while city cameras and video provided by local businesses, landlords, and residents helped investigators identify the suspects, police said. Investigators subsequently located both juveniles.

“We must demand accountability for individuals who threaten the safety of our community,” St. Laurent wrote.

“Lewiston Police would like to thank the community members who provided valuable information and surveillance footage,” he wrote. “We also greatly appreciate the assistance of our (Juvenile Community Corrections Officers) partners and the District Attorney’s Office during this investigation.”

It was the fourth arrest of the week related to reports of shots fired downtown since Tuesday.

Lewiston police arrested a 13-year-old on a charge of reckless conduct with a dangerous weapon, a handgun, and a 16-year-old on a charge of trafficking in illegal drugs Tuesday night after shots were fired in the Knox and Maple streets area downtown. They were also repeat offenders, St. Laurent previously said.
