Maryland teen wanted for murder at Columbia mall arrested in New York City
HOWARD COUNTY, Md. () — A teen who was wanted for murder in connection with a shooting at the was arrested in New York City, according to the Howard County Police Department (HCPD). Police announced on Thursday, May 31, that 18-year-old William Marshall III, was taken into custody for the murder of 17-year-old Angelo Little. 'I am proud of the outstanding, tireless work of everyone involved in this search, including HCPD officers, U.S. Marshals and our HCPD social media team,' said Howard County Police Chief Gregory Der. 'There was true creativity and ingenuity that resulted in this apprehension. We aren't immune from crime in Howard County, but if you commit a crime here, we will catch you and bring you to justice, no matter how long it takes.' PREVIOUS COVERAGE | HCPD searching for 17-year-old boy wanted for murder in connection to Columbia Mall shooting On the evening of July 27, 2024, Howard County police officers were called to The Mall in Columbia for a shooting, where they found Little, who had been shot. He died at the scene. Throughout the investigation, detectives from the mall allegedly showing a man dressed in all black with a dark mask covering his face. As the video continues, the man is seen sitting at a table in the food court with his head down. Once Little begins walking to the bathroom, the person follows him. According to police, he then waited for Little to leave the bathroom, and that's when he fired one shot before running through the back door. About a month later, detectives identified Marshall, who was 17 at the time, as the suspected gunman. He was charged with first-degree murder. Their investigation determined that Marshall, also known as 'Junior,' knew Little and targeted him. Since 'Crime Reduction Plan', Howard County PD reports no gun-related violence near Columbia mall For several months, authorities were unable to locate Marshall. Despite this, officials continued to conduct extensive interviews. Investigators also tracked down hundreds of tips, reviewed digital evidence, conducted hours of surveillance and traveled to multiple states. As the search for Marshall intensified, the U.S. Marshals joined the police department's search. The case had a break in late May of 2025, when detectives received a lead that Marshall was in New York City. During the overnight hours of May 28, authorities searched a building in Brooklyn, NY, where they apprehended Marshall. 'This was a collaborative effort with months of diligence, long nights, and communication. After a long road, our hard work has led us to the arrest of William Marshall. We remain committed to ensuring accountability and taking criminals off the street,' said Howard County Executive Calvin Ball. As of May 29, Marshall was being held in New York and was awaiting extradition to Maryland. The motive for the shooting remains unclear, and officials are working to determine what led up to the shooting. Police noted that detectives are also investigating if someone helped Marshall elude the police; if so, criminal charges will be filed. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Memorial Day weekend shooting leaves 11 injured near North Myrtle Beach as police hunt suspects
South Carolina authorities continue to search for the suspect or suspects who carried out a mass shooting that left 11 people injured on Sunday evening in Little River, near North Myrtle Beach. The Horry County Police Department described the shooting as an isolated incident stemming from an altercation on a charter boat during a private Memorial Day gathering. There were about 124 people onboard the boat, including four crew members, when the shooting occurred, Horry County police said during a Tuesday press conference. Three victims are still hospitalized while eight have been released, authorities said during the press conference. "This type of violence will not be tolerated in Horry County," HCPD Chief Kris Leonhardt said. "We are going to do our very best to investigate this case and bring criminal charges against these folks that have caused this incident here in our county."

Upon arrival, officials located multiple gunshot-wounded victims. Read On The Fox News App The charter boat party attendees were from out of town, Leonhardt said, making it more difficult to track down witnesses. A total of 10 victims sustained gunshot wounds and another person reported an unknown injury not related to gunfire, the police department said in a Monday press release. Some victims were recovered from the water, the North Myrtle Beach Police Department (NMBPD) said in a separate press release. "Of those, the worst of the injured are in critical but stable condition at area hospitals," Horry County police said in a press release. Southern Vacation Hot Spot Fires Back At Poor Safety Rating Following Shooting: 'Fake News' Videos and photos posted to social media on Sunday evening showed a heavy police presence in the area of the Dolphin Cruise parking lot in Little River, located north of North Myrtle Beach. NMBPD also said the South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) is investigating a separate incident involving a responding North Myrtle Beach officer who was injured with his own firearm near the Harbourgate Marina in North Myrtle Beach. "A NMBPD Officer was entering a gate to the dock when his rifle discharged twice, with one of the rounds striking his leg," the department said in its press release. "At the time of the discharge, the Officer had both of his hands on the gate, which was confirmed by later video evidence. Due to the Officer not attempting to utilize his weapon at the time, all Officers on scene believed that shots were being fired from the marina area." The officer was transported to a local hospital, where he underwent surgery for his injuries. Mass Shooting In Myrtle Beach Tourist Hotspot Leaves 1 Dead, 11 Wounded Video footage obtained from a witness apparently shows the incident, and authorities determined that "the discharge was from the wounded Officer's rifle," and the scene was released to SLED. Horry County police said the shooting remains under investigation, and "there is currently no associated risk to the community." Crime concerns in and around Myrtle Beach have been heightened since April 26, when a shooting in the Myrtle Beach entertainment district left the shooter dead and 11 victims injured. Myrtle Beach officials described the shooting as an isolated incident at the time.
