Police arrested a 21-year-old man Thursday in connection with a May 27
drive-by shooting near a Vancouver community center and elementary school
.
Jarod Ngiraibuuch, of Vancouver, was booked into Clark County Jail on suspicion of drive-by shooting, second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm, second-degree assault and possession of a dangerous weapon on a school facility, according to the jail roster.
The shooting took place at about 2:20 p.m. May 27 in a parking lot near the Jim Parsley Center, leading staff at the adjacent Eleanor Roosevelt Elementary School to lock its doors, police said. No injuries were reported in the shooting.
Nearly two weeks later, police served a search warrant at Ngiraibuuch’s apartment, at 2900 General Anderson Avenue, about a 10-minute drive from the scene of the shooting, Vancouver police said in a statement.
Separately, two teenage boys were arrested after video surveillance showed one of them passing a handgun, wrapped in a sweatshirt, to the other in the community center following the shooting. They were booked into juvenile detention on charges of unlawful possession of a firearm, possession of a stolen firearm and bringing a dangerous weapon onto school grounds.
Police said detectives are still trying to track down other suspects in the shooting “who fled the scene.”
