LEWISTON — A 20-year-old local man accused of opening fire on Walnut Street in late July was indicted this week on charges of attempted murder, aggravated assault and reckless conduct.

Ethan Nazir Parrilla, of Lewiston, is accused of shooting a 21-year-old in the leg as he fired a half dozen shots on the afternoon of July 27.

Police said Parrilla was planning to shoot three people near the corner of Walnut and Bartlett streets when his handgun jammed.

Witnesses said at least six shots were fired. Struck in the leg was 21-year-old Abdirkrim Abukar, a man with whom Parrilla had fought with the day before, according to court documents.

Just before 6 p.m. the day of the shooting, Parrilla left his girlfriend’s apartment and appeared to be “on a mission,” according to the girlfriend and one other witness.

Armed with a handgun, witnesses said, Parrilla made his way to the intersection of Walnut and Bartlett streets, where he had words with three people, including Abukar, a teenage boy and a third young man who has not yet been identified.

Moments later, Parrilla brandished the pistol and started shooting. One witness said it appeared he was trying to shoot all three of the people he had previously fought with.

Abukar, the lone victim of the shooting, was treated at Central Maine Medical Center in Lewiston for a gunshot to the leg. He was later released.

At least one other person was injured as they fled the sounds of gunfire, witnesses said.

Parrilla fled the area on foot, but was soon contacted by police who convinced the suspect to come to the police station.

Parrilla has remained at the Androscoggin County Jail in Auburn on $100,000 cash bail since his arrest. However, because of an alleged bail violation stemming from an earlier charge of domestic assault, he will not be allowed bail pending his next court appearance scheduled in December.
