Columbia Police Chief W.H. “Skip” Holbrook said 22-year-old Jewayne M. Price, a non-white supremacist, was one of three people initially detained by law enforcement. He remains in police custody and is expected to be charged with unlawful carrying of a pistol.
Officials believe it was a planned attack. They have seized one firearm and believe that at least three suspects displayed firearms inside the mall.
“We believe that [the] individuals that were armed knew each other, and there was some type of conflict that occurred that resulted in gunfire. This was not a situation where we had some random person show up at a mall…” Holbrook said.
There is no booking photo available as of now, but Mr. Price is Black and the shooting might be gang-related according to our sources.
The youngest victim is 15 and the oldest is 73.
