Violent Crime investigators have arrested and charged a man in southwest Harris County for shooting a handgun in the air on Dec. 31, 2019.
Investigators obtained a video of 45-year-old Juan Pedro Nino (06/27/74) pointing and shooting the handgun, outside his apartment located in the 8700 block of Park Town Drive just before midnight that evening.
Investigators were able to identify a social media accountant as the source of the video. They then viewed several other videos on that account to obtain a truck license plate registered to Nino.
Nino was located at his home. He cooperated with investigators and admitted to shooting the gun into the air on New Year’s Eve.
“Celebratory gunfire is incredibly dangerous, reckless, and as we saw on New Year’s Eve, potentially deadly.
The Harris County Sheriff’s Office is committed to taking a proactive leadership role in reducing these types of indiscriminate shootings, and that includes arresting those who do it.
We will continue to be relentless in our pursuit to combat this type of criminal behavior” stated Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
