Nigel Staten-Chambers, a teen formerly arraigned on two cases, faced both a preliminary arraignment on new charges and a preliminary hearing on an existing case before District Judge Aaron Biichle.
The 17-year-old’s hearing today focused on a Nov. 21 incident in which he allegedly fired five shots at a pizza delivery man driving away from him on Market Street, according to City Police Agent Brittany Alexander.
The arraignment on the new case charges Staten-Chambers with allegedly firing five shots on Nov. 23 at a juvenile on Penn Street, but missing and hitting the victim’s friend, according to State Trooper Brian Siebert.
