HILLSBOROUGH COUNTY, Fla. — The State Attorney's Office said the 15-year-old boy arrested in a deadly shooting outside of the Citrus Park Town Center mall will be tried as an adult.
On Sept. 14, HCSO said they determined a fight between two groups of teenage boys occurred following a planned "slapboxing" event in the parking garage. Some individuals reunited near the Red Robin restaurant outside the mall. Detectives said that is when a fight broke out, and the shooting occurred.
Deputies arrested the teen on Thursday, Sept. 19. He was charged with murder in the second degree, minor in possession of a firearm and carrying a concealed firearm.
State Attorney Lopez said they also filed a motion for him to be kept in jail during the trial.
