Teen Charged with Gun Threat and Assault | Fargo News

An 18-year-old is facing life-altering felony charges after allegedly luring a victim into a car, driving them to a remote road, threatening them with a gun, forcing them to drink alcohol, and then assaulting them—leaving the victim beaten and abandoned in a field as gunshots rang out. The suspect, Isaiah Exadrian Lee Rodriguez, now faces up to 25 years in prison and a $35,000 fine for aggravated robbery and assault with a deadly weapon. Authorities say the victim was tricked into thinking they were going to shoot fireworks, but instead was dragged into a violent, terrifying ordeal. A chilling Snapchat video allegedly shows Rodriguez forcing the victim to record a statement, and Rodriguez later confessed to pointing the gun at the victim’s head after a heated comment—and firing it into the air before the beating began.
