In re K.D., a Person Coming Under the Juvenile Court Law.

THE PEOPLE, G064413 Plaintiff and Respondent, (Super. Ct. No. 24DL0154) v. OPINION K.D.,

Defendant and Appellant.

Appeal from orders of the Superior Court of Orange County, Vibhav Mittal, Judge. Affirmed. Marta I. Stanton, under appointment by the Court of Appeal, for Defendant and Appellant. Rob Bonta, Attorney General, Charles C. Ragland, Assistant Attorney General, Arlene A. Sevidal and Arlyn Escalante, Deputy Attorneys General, for Plaintiff and Respondent * * *

After being declared a ward of the juvenile court, K.D. (Minor) was committed to a juvenile hall facility and thereafter released to his parents’ custody pursuant to certain probation conditions. Among other things, the juvenile court imposed gang-related probation conditions. On appeal, Minor contends the court erred by imposing the gang- related probation conditions. For the reasons infra, the court did not abuse its discretion. We accordingly affirm the court’s orders. FACTS I. THE INCIDENT On January 27, 2024, around midnight, N.L. was riding his bicycle to work and saw Minor standing on the sidewalk. Minor ran to N.L., flashed a firearm in his waistband, and yelled in Spanish. Minor also grabbed the handlebars on N.L.’s bicycle. To try to scare Minor away, N.L. asked, “‘Hey, want to fuck?’” Minor responded, “‘Whoa, what?’” N.L. then started to ride away from Minor. As he was riding away, Minor chased after him, and N.L. heard “a big loud thud,” which he believed was a gunshot sound. N.L. then got off of his bicycle, but Minor was no longer there. N.L. noticed his bicycle wheel was flat and waited for Minor to come back. N.L. saw Minor approach a few minutes later and yell in Spanish about his dog. N.L. called the police, and Minor ran away when the police arrived. N.L. chased after Minor. After Minor was arrested, he told the police that N.L. had disrespected him and he could not allow it. Minor denied using any firearm, and the police did not find a firearm in the surrounding area. But the police did find a shell casing and N.L.’s bicycle, which had a flat rear tire.
