Five people have been charged in a gang-related shooting at a Utah mall that sent hundreds of shoppers fleeing for the exits, but police are still searching for a teenager accused of firing the shots that wounded two people.
Murray Police Officer Kenny Bass said Wednesday the 17-year-old remains on the run, and prosecutors say he had help from a 20-year-old gang member who sent him money.
Another 18-year-old has been charged with encouraging him to fire the shots. Three others aged 19 and 20 were charged with rioting.
Police say the fight started after two groups of rival gang members crossed paths inside a sporting-goods store at Fashion Place Mall on Jan. 13 and agreed to fight outside. Prosecutors say the shooting began shortly after they exited the mall.
