WALLA WALLA — A Walla Walla man accused of shooting two people early Tuesday, July 27, had his bail set at $100,000 on July 28 in Walla Walla County Superior Court and was released later in the day from Walla Walla County Jail after posting bail.

Miguel “Junior” A. Ferrusca, 21, was arrested by Walla Walla police and booked into the jail for investigation of two counts of first-degree assault, a Class A felony. Prosecutors filed charges on July 28.

Walla Walla County deputy prosecuting attorney Jennine Christensen said in court that one of the victims was shot in the shin and the other was shot “multiple times” and his condition was unknown.

According to court documents, Ernesto Moreno Madrigal, 25, was shot in the leg and Julian D. Saldana, 19, was shot multiple times.

Police noted Saldana’s injuries prevented him from speaking to detectives while he was being treated at Providence St. Mary Medical Center in Walla Walla, according to the documents.

Police said Moreno Madrigal spoke to detectives, saying Ferrusca was the one who shot at them in the 200 block of Tausick Way.

Moreno Madrigal said he had come along with Saldana to pick up an unidentified female and Ferrusca and a few other men confronted them, according to a press release from the Walla Walla Police Department. Police said they were told Ferrusca was holding an assault-style gun, demanding they leave.

Ferrusca then allegedly shot Saldana multiple times and Moreno Madrigal was hit in the leg. Saldana fell and Ferrusca allegedly kicked him while he was down, according to the records.

Saldana and Moreno Madrigal got back into their car, with Saldana having to be helped in by his friend, according to the release. They fled and waved down paramedics at the intersection of South Second Avenue and East Main Street.

Police were notified of the two victims at the hospital and interviewed Moreno Madrigal there before interviewing Ferrusca after 3 a.m.

According to the documents, Ferrusca told detectives he heard 10 loud bangs around 12:30 a.m. while he was going to bed, but he was unsure if they were fireworks.

Police asked him about being named as the attacker in a shooting that night outside his residence and Ferrusca followed that question by asking about “stand your ground” laws in Washington, according to the records.

Police gave him a brief explanation of self-defense laws, they noted, and Ferrusca asked to speak to an attorney. Detectives ended the interview, documents showed.

Ferrusca’s family was in court to ask for a lower bail amount and for Ferrusca to be released on house arrest.

Judge Pro Tem Robin Olson said he wouldn’t reduce the bail amount at the time nor allow for a 10% cash equivalent. Olson said he needed more legal information sorted out before making any such decision.

“This is a very serious offense,” Olson told the family.

Olson also ordered for electronic home monitoring if Ferrusca did post bail before July 29.

Ferrusca was assigned attorney Nicholas Holce, although Ferrusca said his family was planning on hiring an attorney.

Walla Walla County Prosecuting Attorney Jim Nagle said Ferrusca posted bail July 28. Court records show Ferrusca was permitted to stay at a home in the 1300 block of Callahan Drive under electronic supervision with orders to stay away from the alleged victims in the case and away from the 200 block of Tausick Way.

Ferrusca is scheduled to be arraigned Aug. 2. in Superior Court.
