A councilman from the Town of Mountain View was removed from his position in a special election on Tuesday after he was accused of shooting a teenager in the face.
Brent John Metz, 38, was recalled in a vote of 127-72. Council candidate Ryan Debner will succeed him.
Metz pleaded not guilty at the end of April to charges stemming from the September 2024 incident, when he allegedly shot a 17-year-old who Metz accused of trespassing on his Conifer property. The 17-year-old and another teenager said they were searching for a spot to take homecoming photos. Metz faces charges of second-degree assault (reckless causing serious bodily injury with a deadly weapon), two counts of felony menacing and illegal discharge of a firearm. A judge set his bond at $5,000.
Prosecutors are currently in discussions with Metz’s attorneys to possibly reach a settlement, but his lawyers said they are still working on an agreement. Metz is scheduled for a pre-trial hearing on June 23.
