Kennewick teen pleads guilty to stabbing

Jacenir DaSilva, 15, of Kennewick, changed his plea Wednesday in Benton County Superior Court to guilty of first-degree assault in the May 7 knifing of a younger boy.

DaSilva, who admitted the attack was not self-defense, will be sentenced in early January.

Court records state DaSilva and two friends saw and chased a 13-year-old boy who was walking on Olympia Street in Kennewick. DaSilva stabbed the boy twice in the back while his accomplices held the victim on the ground.

The boy's injuries, while serious, were not life-threatening.

DaSilva has been in custody in the Benton County jail with bail set at $100,000.
