Teen charged for recording livestream of San Diego mosque shooting charged with murder

  • On Monday, Forsyth County District Attorney Jim O'Neill announced that 17-year-old Sarah Lindsey Santiago has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder for her role in a San Diego mosque attack.
  • Santiago allegedly planned to livestream the May 18 attack and disseminate the shooters' white-supremacist manifesto, which cited the 2019 Christchurch shooter who killed 51 people as inspiration for the violence.
  • Gunmen Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez stormed the Islamic Center during the May 18 incident, killing security guard Amin Abdullah and two others before taking their own lives nearby.
  • Security guard Amin Abdullah's quick response, including exchanging gunfire and initiating a lockdown, protected 140 children who were steps away, preventing further casualties as the assailants were driven back outside.
  • Arrested last week, Santiago also faces a conspiracy charge; the case illustrates the role of remote participants in domestic extremist attacks as legal proceedings move forward in North Carolina.
