In the Interest of T. W.

The Juvenile Court of Sumter County adjudicated T. W., age 13, delinquent for acts that, if committed by an adult, would have constituted aggravated assault. T. W. appeals, claiming that the State did not prove venue and also claiming that the evidence was insufficient on one of the charges of aggravated assault. We conclude that the evidence was sufficient to support the adjudication of delinquency on the merits of the crimes charged; however, because venue was not proved, we reverse and remand for retrial. In considering an appeal from an adjudication of delinquency, we view the evidence in the light most favorable to the prosecution to determine if a rational trier of fact could have found, beyond a reasonable doubt, that the juvenile committed the acts charged. In the Interest of D. S. , 239 Ga. App. 608 521 SE2d 661 1999. The evidence is considered under the standard of Jackson v. Virginia , 443 U. S. 307 99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560 1979, with all reasonable inferences construed in favor of the juvenile court’s findings. In re E. A. D. , 271 Ga. App. 531 610 SE2d 153 2005.

So viewed, the record shows that T. W. was charged with two counts of aggravated assault. One of the victims testified that T. W. began harassing him as he walked down the street. The victim stated that T. W. ran behind some apartments and came back with a gun. T. W. pointed it at the victim and told him “I’ll kill you.” There was also evidence that T. W. hit another man, the victim’s brother, with a “big old broken tree limb,” bruising his back.
