 Good afternoon. The purpose for today's briefing and it will be brief is to provide an update on ongoing investigation related to the shooting at the colombiana. Center on saturday. Today we are announcing the arrest of the second suspect marquise love robinson 20 year old male from columbia. He's charged with nine counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature attempted murder. Unlawful carry of a handgun. He's housed in the lexington county detention center. A bond hearing is scheduled for tomorrow morning at 8 30 a.m. Additionally, the suspect that we arrested saturday after the shooting Mr. Dwayne price. He's continues to be housed in the lexington county detention center. We will be adding nine additional charges of aggravated assault and battery of high and aggravated nature, um, as well as attempted murder. To his current charge of unlawful carry. We've also obtained arrest warrant for our third suspect. That is Amari sincere Jamal Smith. He has a nickname of Mari. He's a 21 year old male from columbia. He's wanted for nine counts of assault battery of a high and aggravated nature attempted murder and unlawful carry of a pistol. We're asking for the public's assistance and locating Mr. Smith. If anyone sees him or knows his whereabouts, we're asking him to call 911 or call our tip line that was set up for this incident at 8 035453525. And he absolutely should be considered armed and dangerous. We also have an update on our victims. We have a 15th victim that reported to law enforcement yesterday during some interviews. We learned that this victim was injured while standing beside someone that was hit by gunfire. So that brings our total number of victims to 15. That was a non life threatening injury. Obviously, we still have nine confirmed gunshot victims. One that remains an ICU and total six victims that suffered other injuries related to the incident. The motive for the shooting hasn't changed since what I briefly mentioned to there was some type of ongoing dispute between the people that we've identified as suspects so far. We have seized two handguns that we believe were used in the shooting. We've collected ballistic evidence from the scene. That will be processed at the state law enforcement lab. I've got to express my sincere thanks to the public that has contacted us that were at the mall or knew somebody that was at the mall that had information reached out to our tip line. I would also express my appreciation to 11th circuit solicitor. Rick Hubbard and his staff who we have been in constant consultation with since it started. And lastly, I want to acknowledge the outstanding work of all of our investigators in the criminal investigations bureau. They haven't stopped since Saturday. They've worked around the clock and just done a tremendous job on that. So we still have a lot of work to do. We still are asking the public to call if they have information. Again, this was a traumatic event for a lot of people that were at the mall and we understand that that takes sometimes a moment for things to register for you to remember things. So as you do, we're asking that you call us and let us know, you know, what you might have seen or heard every little piece of information is helpful. I'll try to address a few questions. Do we have any new information in terms of the relationship between Mr. Price, sincere Jamal and Mr. Robinson? Just that we can acknowledge there was there was some acquaintance. They had run in each other before. So we don't have any insight as to what the nature of that conflict was. Not that I'm sharing with you other than they didn't know each other. Prior arrest or charges against any of these individuals. There there's nothing that we're a liberty to discuss at this briefing. The nine counts of aggravated assault is that to signify that the bullets from Mr. Price and perhaps the other gentlemen Mr. Robinson get nine individuals or that they just fired near nine individuals or what would be the significance of that? We had three people showed up at a crowded mall on a Saturday night carrying weapons and they fired their guns. And we had nine people hit by gunfire. Usually prepare for holidays. Do you expect violence like this around, you know, big holidays? Of course not at a at a public mall like that that we expect violence. Absolutely not. You know, this was, you know, a tragic event that, you know, we, we mentioned Saturday that unfortunately we have to prepare for that. You know, there was no information that would give us concern that anything was, you know, was planned to happen. We do believe that this was a just a happen circumstance that occurred with these individuals, but because of an, you know, an ongoing dispute and the fact that they all were armed. Emotions took over and you had farms that were introduced into a dispute and gunfire was exchanged and innocent people got injured in the crossfire. Lot have been talking about gun violence in the community quite a bit lately. Is there any message that you would like to send to the public in that regard? I mean, something's got to change. You know, we need our legislators to legislate. We need more accountability for people that illegally and carry firearms. This is not an indictment on gun ownership. This is an indictment on the availability of firearms on the street for people that have illegal intentions or nefarious intentions to use those farms against others. For Mr. Robinson's unlawful possession charge, did he own that gun legally and just not have a CWP or what was the nature of it? We're not going to discuss the ownership. Again, what I'll emphasize, if you had three people that brought guns into a crowded mall that were in dispute with one another and chose to pull their guns and fire their guns and nine people were shot. Was this a premeditated conflict on behalf of Mr. sincere? We don't know what the, you know, what their state of mind was. She talked about what steps the police department either does take or can take to prepare or prevent this kind of scenario mass shooting in a crowded public place like this. I mean, you know, we have to, you know, prepare to respond obviously. And we do that. And that was on full display Saturday. We, you know, we have to advocate for there to be consequences for when people illegally carry guns and use guns. So there's a deterrent for the makes makes people think twice before they carry a gun into a into a mall. In a situation like that. Then, of course, we got to work with the, you know, with our partners, our business owners in our private sector to have security measures in place that would potentially deter somebody from committing a crime, whether it's a crime against persons or crime crime against property. And that would be to have, you know, video surveillance and security measures in place that would, you know, prevent but also help us quickly solve something if it occurs. Mr. Rutherford made the argument yesterday that his client was acting as self defense when he fired. Is that your understanding of the situation? That's that's I don't share that understanding of it. Again, I'm going to say this one more time. Three people chose to come to the mall, carrying guns concealed that have a dispute with one another. And then they chose to pull the guns and fire their guns and nine people got hit. So is there any concern that this might extend to more people beyond the three gentlemen who are involved? Any concern? Or do we think that there'll be other people? Do you think more people that might get involved in this dispute? I don't know. I don't know. I can't speak to that. You know, there, there may be additional charges of some other people. We may develop some leads as far as that goes. But you know, I can't speak to how anyone person would react to the fact that we're arresting these three people for firing guns and hitting on people. How did officers find Mr. Robinson? They found found him in in Columbia overnight. I know there was a lot of social media video that circulated from this event. Are you guys using that to help continue the investigation and look further into what happened? Are we using social media to investigate? Is that your question? I mean, we we always look at all open source information that you might, you know, provide direction or assist us in an investigation. We would look at that or, you know, any any other lead might come our way. Whatever platform one chooses to share information with us, we will certainly receive that. You know, whether that is through Facebook or or through our online reporting or by calling our tip line, or calling crime stoppers or calling 911, any option, there's no option it's off the table for providing information to us. Thank you. Thank you very much.
