MANATEE COUNTY, Fla. — Two teenagers were arrested in connection with a shooting at the Ellenton Premium Outlets on Sunday afternoon.
The Manatee County Sheriff's Office (MCSO) said they arrested Cristian Mireles, 18, and a 17-year-old for allegedly shooting multiple rounds from their vehicle at another car.
According to authorities, the incident took place at around 4:40 p.m. in the mall's east parking lot.
MCSO said it didn't appear that the second car shot back, and they believe the motive for the incident was related to an earlier argument between several teenagers.
There were no reports of any injuries to anyone at the mall, and businesses resumed normal operations shortly after they were given an all-clear.
No further information has been released at this time, but the investigation is ongoing.
Anyone with information regarding the shooting can contact the Manatee County Sheriff’s Office at 941-747-3011.
