On April 8, 2023, around 6:45 p.m., a shooting occurred at Christiana Mall in Newark, Delaware. After a physical attack began near the food court of the mall, a suspect opened fire, shooting three people and injuring two critically. A statewide manhunt for the three instigators ensued shortly after. On April 19, 2023, one of the three suspects was arrested. Held in a juvenile detention facility, the 17-year old is charged with facilitating a riot, second-degree conspiracy, and offensive touching. The suspected shooter and another suspect are still at large.
Attack and shooting[edit]
Around 6:45 p.m. on April 8, 2023, an unnamed 18-year old was attacked by three suspects near the food court inside Christiana Mall in Newark, Delaware. They began to beat the victim, and two of the victim's friends began to fight back. One of the three suspects then pulled a handgun from his waistband, shooting the targeted victim, his 16-year old friend, and another 18-year old bystander. The targeted victim and his friend were injured critically. Five others were injured in the chaos following the attack. All three attackers escaped before authorities arrived.[1][2][3][4][5]
Investigation and arrest[edit]
A manhunt soon initiated for the three suspects, with authorities releasing a short video of the three suspects walking before the attack was initiated. There were no arrests until 11 days later, when one of the three suspects, an unnamed 17-year old surrendered himself to police. He is held in the Division of Youth Rehabilitative Services in Wilmington on a $15,000 bail.[3][4][5][6][7] If tried as an adult, he faces up to 6 years in prison.[8]
