Two charges against a Harrisonburg man accused of attempted murder were dropped Thursday.

A Harrisonburg District Court judge null-processed the two counts of a violent felon in possession of a weapon against 29-year-old Rafael Jimenez.

Jimenez was arrested in January for allegedly trying to kill someone at Meadowlark Drive in Harrisonburg.

Eight charges were originally filed against Jimenez in relation to the alleged gang shooting that occurred earlier this year.

He still faces charges of first degree attempted murder and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.
