5 y/o Thrown over Railing, 2019

In the article posted above, it says this is the first fatal shooting and that there was a fall stabbing in 1999. It didn't say if there have been non-fatal ones.

@GoBuckeyes Imo April 2019 crime came pretty darn close to fatal, without a gun or knife.

"Aranda approached the youngster at random, picked him up and hurled him over a third-floor railing before fleeing the scene, authorities said. He was captured aboard a light rail train."

"Aranda pleaded guilty last month to first-degree attempted murder,... that nearly killed a 5-year-old boy."
Boy fell 40 feet and suffered severe head trauma and multiple broken bones.

24 y/o perp "... sentenced to 19 years in prison on Monday."

That was awful! He literally picked the boy up and threw him over the railing.
He was hospitalized for months and I believe he did make a full recovery.

The family sued the MOA and just reached a settlement.

A security officer spoke to Aranda the day before Landon was thrown over the balcony because he was looking over the railing and talking to himself. He told the security officer he came there to kill someone but it didn't work out. He had a violent and combative history at the mall and was kicked out twice already.

The next day he came back and threw Landon over the railing in an attempt to kill him.
Thankfully, he miraculously lived.

Suspected gunman in Mall of America killing arrested in Georgia - Bring Me The News

Snippets:
A teenager believed to be one of two suspected gunmen in the killing of a 19-year-old St. Paul man inside Mall of America in December has been arrested after more than three weeks at-large.
U.S. Marshals arrested 17-year-old Lavon Longstreet on Tuesday at a residence in Decatur, Georgia, according to the Bloomington Police Department.

Prosecutors in Hennepin County have charged Longstreet and 18-year-old TaeShawn Adams-Wright, both from Minneapolis, with second-degree murder in connection with the shooting that left Johntae Hudson dead inside the Nordstrom store on Dec. 23.

Two additional suspects, both 17-year-old boys from the Twin Cities area, are charged with second-degree riot for their alleged involvement in the incident.

Court documents allege Adams-Wright and Longstreet pulled guns on Hudson while the two other boys prevented him from escaping.

According to Bloomington Police, two additional suspects were arrested Tuesday in connection with aiding an offender. One of those suspects is Longstreet's mother, who investigators believe helped Longstreet leave Minnesota after the shooting.

IMO
4 for murder. 2 shooters (17 yo & 18 yo) and 2 prevented victim from fleeing (2 - 17 yos).
2 for aiding offender... his mom helped and unnamed person.
