GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — The teen accused of shooting a man multiple times in Grand Rapids earlier this month was identified both by the victim’s mother and his own, a detective testified before a judge.

Cartiyae Pascal was arraigned Tuesday on charges of assault with intent to commit murder, carrying a concealed weapon and possessing a firearm during the commission of a felony. He is 16 but is being charged as an adult.

The shooting happened around 6 p.m. Sept. 1 on Madison Avenue at Dickinson Avenue SE. A detective testified before a Grand Rapids judge Tuesday that the shooter was “lying in wait” for the victim when he came out of a convenience store.

“(The shooter) ran up behind (the victim), started shooting him, shot him multiple times in his body,” including in the chest, the detective said, a transcript of the testimony shows.

The victim’s mother stepped out of her car and was “just missed” by gunfire, the detective said. Her car was hit. The shooter took off.

The victim’s mother rushed her son to the hospital, where doctors were able to save him, the detective said.

The detective testified that the surveillance video from the store is “incredibly high resolution” and allowed investigators to identify Pascal as the shooter. Separately, the detective testified, the victim’s mother also identified Pascal through a rap video he posted online.

When police searched Pascal’s home on Sept. 13, the detective said, they found a gun like the one seen in the video, plus shoes and a COVID-19 mask like the ones the shooter was wearing. The detective said Pascal wearing the “very unique, identifiable, glasses” that the shooter was wearing in the video.

Investigators brought in Pascal, accompanied by his mother, to the police station to be interviewed.

“When shown still images of the surveillance video, his mom immediately identified her son as the person in the video,” the detective testified. “And then he requested an attorney.”

Detectives stopped their interview and left, but the detective said Pascal and his mother kept talking to one another in the interview room. The detective testified that Pascal’s mother asked, “How many times did you shoot him?” and Pascal replied, “Um, about five.”

“She asks if there’s any more bodies on the gun, and he says, ‘No,'” the detective continued. “He says where the gun is hidden and some other things.”

At arraignment, the judge agreed to move him from the juvenile detention center to the Kent County jail over concerns that the detention center could not keep Pascal safe from other juvenile detainees who may know the victim.

Court transcripts show Pascal was on juvenile probation stemming from weapons convictions when the shooting happened and that his criminal history includes resisting or obstructing police.

His bond was set at $300,000. He is expected back in court for hearings on Oct. 1 and Oct. 8. If convicted of attempted murder, he could spend the rest of his life behind bars.
