Teenager allegedly involved in January shooting in downtown Chelan

A second arrest on Wednesday in the shooting of a man on a downtown Chelan street on the night of Jan 23.

Chelan County Sheriff’s detectives reported Thursday the arrest of a 17-year old boy, who along with 18-year old Hector Farias of Manson, are accused of participation in the shooting a 22-year old man. He was struck by a single gunshot to the upper back and has since recovered from the injury.
