In re A.D.

A.D. (appellant), born in August 1993, appeals the juvenile court’s jurisdictional and dispositional orders. The case involves an incident in which appellant fired a firearm at a car occupied by five other minors. Among other things, appellant contends that, because there was no substantial evidence he committed the charged offenses in concert with another gang member, there was insufficient evidence to support the juvenile court’s order sustaining a charge of active participation in a criminal street gang (Pen. Code, § 186.22, subd. (a))[1] and gang sentencing enhancements (§ 186.22, subd. (b)(1)) attached to six counts. Following the Supreme Court’s recent decision in People v. Rodriguez (2012) 55 Cal.4th 1125 (Rodriguez), we conclude the evidence was insufficient to support the gang participation charge but sufficient to support the sentencing enhancements. We reject appellant’s other claims.
