A Scranton man shot another man last month outside an after-hours club on Green Ridge Street, police charge.<\/p>\n
Scranton police officers responded early on March 15 to 10 Plaza near Green Ridge Street and North Main Avenue for a reported shooting. Officers found blood and shell casings in the parking lot. The man who was shot, Eric Garcia, was taken to a local hospital by a woman who identified herself as his girlfriend.<\/p>\n
The woman said she had been waiting in line at the club with Garcia when she realized she didn\u2019t have her identification and went back to the car to get it.<\/p>\n
While in the parking lot, she heard arguing and then found Garcia wounded.<\/p>\n
Another witness said Garcia tried to break up a fight between two men named \u201cJuan\u201d and \u201cBando,\u201d who is a member of the Bloods gang.<\/p>\n
Bando was later identified as Roderick Jenkins, 23, of Clay Avenue.<\/p>\n
A witness said she heard four or five shots and then realized Garcia had been hit in the stomach.<\/p>\n
The next day, Jenkins went to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital to receive treatment for a head injury and was identified by police.<\/p>\n
A third witness, who had transported Jenkins to the Wilkes-Barre hospital, told police the incident was related to fight at Big Daddy\u2019s bar on Cedar Avenue in Scranton the day before, following the St. Patrick\u2019s Parade.<\/p>\n
Officers reviewed surveillance video from the altercation at Big Daddy\u2019s and identified Jenkins as one of several patrons involved in the fight.<\/p>\n
Garcia is expected to recover from his wounds.<\/p>\n
Jenkins is charged with aggravated assault, aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, reckless endangerment and related charges.<\/p>\n
He remains at Lackawanna County Prison in lieu of $200,000 bail.<\/p>\n
A preliminary hearing is scheduled for 10:15 a.m. on April 21 before District Judge Paul Ware.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A Scranton man shot another man last month outside an after-hours club on Green Ridge Street, police charge.…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":160802,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[202,201,182,139,28,178,180,179],"class_list":["post-161280","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-scranton","tag-crime-and-public-safety","tag-lackawanna-county","tag-local-news","tag-news","tag-pennsylvania","tag-scranton","tag-scranton-headlines","tag-scranton-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161280","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=161280"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/161280\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/160802"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=161280"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=161280"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=161280"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
