A 14-year-old boy, Tanorris T. Lee, has been charged as an adult for assault with intent to murder as well as three firearm offenses after a 17-year-old was shot five times on August 30.

The victim was shot multiple times, with one gunshot wound to the neck and two to the chest before running home and then being transported to a local hospital in Old Town Saginaw, Michigan.

MLive reports that Tanorris T. Lee was arraigned on Thursday morning via video conferencing call and was brought before Judge Barbara L. Meter, who presides over the juvenile court.

On Wednesday morning, according to Chief Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Boyd, Boyd’s office said that they decided to charge Lee as an adult and waived jurisdiction from Meter’s court.

According to Boyd, the decision was made “based on his violent past and the fact that the victim in this case was shot multiple times.”

Lee faces a maximum penalty of life in prison, without the possibility of parole.

District Judge M. Randall Jurrens set the bond at $1 million, an amount which District Judge Kyle Higgs Tarrant has said will be carried over.
