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

Prosecutors say she helped plan the livestream and spread the attackers’ manifesto after three people were killed in the mosque shooting.

  • 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.
