The Columbia Police Department has obtained an arrest warrant for 21-year-old Amari Sincere-Jamal Smith, Police Chief Skip Holbrook announced in a press briefing Monday afternoon, asking for anyone who sees him or knows of his whereabouts to call 911.
Marquis Love Robinson, 20, was arrested Monday on aggravated assault and attempted murder charges. Both he and Smith live in Columbia, Holbrook said. At least 15 people ranging in age from 15 to 73 were injured Saturday when gunfire erupted at the Columbiana Centre mall in Columbia, Holbrook said. Nine people sustained gunshot wounds, while six people were injured in another manner, Holbrook said, adding that one victim remains in intensive care."We don't believe this was random," he said after the shooting."We believe the individuals who were armed knew each other."Jewayne M.
Holbrook called on lawmakers to do more work to ensure gun safety in the country, saying the"availability of firearms on the street for people that have illegal intentions or nefarious intentions to use those firearms against others" has gotten out of control. "Something's got to change," he said Monday."We need our legislators to legislate. We need more accountability for people that illegally carry firearms."Copyright © 2022, ABC Audio.
