A 16-year-old Burbank boy was charged Tuesday in the shooting of a Hollywood business owner, who was attacked after confronting the teen and an adult for allegedly tagging on his auto shop.

Edward Davtyan is scheduled to be arraigned July 9 on one felony count each of attempted murder and vandalism, along with gang allegations, according to Shiara M. Davila of the District Attorney's Office.

The teen's alleged accomplice is facing the same charges, which could result in up to 25 years to life in state prison, according to the District Attorney's Office. His name was being withheld pending his arrest.

One of the two defendants allegedly pulled out a handgun and shot the business owner once in the chest. An investigation is ongoing to determine which of the two defendants allegedly shot the man, according to Davila.

The victim, whose name was withheld, survived the attack and has since been released from the hospital.
