Juvenile court will try youth charged in I-64 shootings

The 16-year-old Crozet boy who faces 15 felonies in connection with the March 27 shootings on In-terstate 64 will be tried as a juvenile.

In Albemarle County Juvenile and Domestic Relations Court on Wednesday, a judge turned down a prosecution request to transfer the case to Circuit Court.
The trial is scheduled for May 7.

Authorities allege that the teenager and 19-year-old Slade A. Woodson fired a Ruger .22-caliber Magnum rifle at six vehicles on the interstate. Two people were injured in the shootings.

Woodson faces additional charges in connection with shootings in Waynesboro.
