Howard County Police have identified a 17-year-old as a suspect in last month’s Columbia mall shooting and are offering a $10,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
William Marshall III, 17, of Columbia, is wanted for first-degree murder and related charges. Marshall allegedly targeted the victim, 17-year-old Angelo Little, who was pronounced dead at the scene July 27, police said in a news release.
Detectives believe the suspect and victim knew each other but have yet to determine a motive for the shooting, according to the release.
Authorities found footage on Aug. 5 that shows the suspect’s movements through The Mall in Columbia before and after the shooting, which helped them identify Marshall.
Police said Marshall is an Oakland Mills High School student but has not attended school this year. He might have left the immediate area, the release says.
