A second suspect in connection to Saturday’s shooting at a South Carolina mall has been arrested, according to police.
Marquise Robinson, 20, is charged with nine counts of assault and battery of a high and aggravated nature, attempted murder, and unlawful carrying of a handgun. He is being held at Lexington County Detention Center, the same center as the first suspect, Jewayne Price, 22, who was arrested Sunday, Police Chief William Holbrook said in a press briefing.

A 15th victim from the shooting was reported Sunday. The victim was injured while standing beside someone who was shot, according to CNN. Nine victims suffered from gunshot wounds, while six others experienced injuries related to the incident. Only one victim remains in intensive care.
The motive of the shooting is believed to be tied to an “ongoing dispute” between the three suspects, Holbrook said.
Anyone with information to help with Smith’s arrest should call 877-WANTED2.
