A total of fourteen juvenile males have been arrested and are being held in connection with a shooting on 10th Street on Friday evening, December 10.


The juveniles, all between the ages of 14 and 15, were arrested for inciting a riot, aggravated assault and threatening and intimdating.

On Friday, December 10, one adult and two juveniles were arrested in connection with the shooting of a 15-year-old male.

The victim, whose name was not released, was shot in the upper torso, said Lt. Carlos Guido, a spokesman for the Douglas Police Department.

Orlando Sosa, 18, of 1345 10th Street, was booked at the Cochise County Jail and charged with 1st degree attempted murder.

Enrique Sosa, 15, of 1345 10th Street, was remanded as an adult and will be charged as one. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and 1st degree attempted murder.

A third juvenile, 14, is also being held in connection with the shooting. His name was not released.

Shortly after 11 p.m. Friday the police received a call about a disturbance on 10th Street.

"But we're still trying to piece together what led to the shooting," Guido said.

He said there apparently was a conflict between the home occupants and the group, which started a rock-throwing incident.

Guido said that additional arrests are pending.

If anyone has information about the incident, contact the Douglas Police Department at 364-8422.
