A 17-year-old accused of murder in Thursday’s mass shooting at a Louisiana mall that left a high school senior dead while wounding five others got a ride away from the crime scene from his grandmother – and was arrested after investigators used surveillance video and license plate readers to track her car down, authorities allege.
There is no indication that Markel Lee’s grandmother knew what he was suspected of doing prior to his arrest, which evidently occurred after she told police that her grandson was in a surveillance image they showed her depicting someone seemingly aiming a pistol toward the shopping center food court where the shooting occurred.
