A 16-year-old was charged Monday in First Judicial District Court with multiple crimes including burglary, possession of firearms and drugs possession stemming from a Jan. 29, 2026 shooting near the intersection of Condor Circle and Mockingbird Way, according to a Carson City Sheriff’s Office booking report.
Carson Now does not name juveniles who commit crimes. In the incident, two adults and the male juvenile were booked for their alleged involvement in which shots were fired at a residence. More than five shots were heard and several people were seen running from the area. There were no injuries and a total of seven expended shell casing were discovered.
Following the investigation, Lyon County resident Christian Bryant, 18, and Douglas County resident Frankie Hernandez-Peregrina, 19, were taken into custody, along with the 16-year-old juvenile, a Fernley resident.
At the time of the arrests, all three were booked similarly with discharging a weapon into an occupied structure, assault with a deadly weapon, changing/altering a serial number (gun), damage to property (graffiti), conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon, and conspiracy to shoot into an occupied structure.
On Monday, the 16-year-old went before the Juvenile Division of the First Judicial Court in Carson City. During the appearance, he waived his rights in relation to the motion to certify as an adult for the criminal charges. The court order granting motion from the First Judicial Court was signed by District Court Judge Kristin Luis. The court order contains probable cause for the teen’s arrest for the criminal charges, according to the booking report.
When contacted, Carson City Sheriff Ken Furlong said the incident was “deeply concerning” as the crime involved a 16-year-old, among the two adult suspects.
“My concerns are always when juveniles come in possession of weapons and use those weapons to terrorize neighborhoods and people,” said Furlong. “Those acts of violence should rise to the highest level of concern.”
The 16-year-old, who has been in continuous custody at the Carson City Juvenile Detention Center, was booked on the criminal charges. The felony, gross misdemeanor and misdemeanor charges are:
— Felony, own or possess firearm by a prohibited person.
— Felony burglary while in possession of a firearm or deadly weapon constituting domestic violence.
— Felony burglary of a motor vehicle, first offense.
— Five felony counts violate regulations regarding modified semiautomatic firearms and parts for firearms.

— Felony carry concealed explosive, firearm or other dangerous weapon without permit with a gang enhancement.
