But they also want his criminal case transferred to juvenile court.
Tyshane Smith of Burlington, who fled to Florida after the Feb. 1 shooting, appeared briefly for his arraignment in Vermont Superior Court on Friday April 2.
Authorities have said the shooting may have been sparked by a gang-related confrontation. Smith fired at least five shots, three of them at the intended target before he fled with a group of 8 people, South Burlington Police said.
On Monday, the department said it has a lead on where the stolen handgun came from.
âIt was acquired in an unreported crime in Winooski,â Police Chief Shawn Burke said. He did not elaborate.
