17-year-old charged with attempted homicide in Allentown shooting
Updated Feb 12, 2021;
Police responded at 2:30 p.m. and found a man with non-life-threatening gunshot wounds to his leg, a news release said. The man was taken to an area hospital for treatment.
Working off a description of a vehicle involved in the shooting, a brief chase led to several people being detained near North 11th and West Chew streets, police said. A gun was found, police said.
Jahiem Valentine, of the 100 block of South 12th Street, was arraigned later Thursday night before District Judge David M. Howells Jr,. on charges of attempted homicide, aggravated assault, possession of a firearm by a minor and recklessly endangering another person, records show. He was housed in Lehigh County Jail in lieu of $250,000 bail pending a preliminary hearing tentatively scheduled noon Feb. 19 before Howells, records show.
The new charges result from evidence that the men conducted surveillance on the victim’s home and then tried to carry out the crime but were not successful, authorities said.
Deputies, detectives and crime scene investigators responded around 10:20 p.m. Jan. 13 to 103 Montegut St. to investigate shots fired, the Sheriff’s Office said. They found the two women suffering from gunshot wounds. They were both pronounced dead shortly afterward.
Investigators said the three men conspired in a murder-for-hire plot hatched by Beaux Comier, who is Brittany Cormier’s brother. He had been arrested in Vermillion Parish on a third-degree rape charge of a relative.
