A 17-year-old girl from North Carolina is charged with murder for recording and sharing a livestream of a deadly shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego in May that killed three people. A district attorney says she is accused of murder under a legal theory of aiding and abetting, meaning prosecutors treat her alleged involvement as if she participated in the attack.
Authorities also say the teen disseminated materials connected to the attackers’ ideology, including white-supremacist writings. Multiple outlets report she was arrested last week and that prosecutors pursued charges through a grand jury. Some coverage notes prosecutors brought several charges, including conspiracy, while others focus on the primary murder charge based on aiding and abetting.
Outlets vary mainly in emphasis—some highlight the livestream recording, others focus on the sharing of the attackers’ writings and the aiding-and-abetting framework, and one describes the case using quotes from the district attorney. But they agree on the core allegations: her livestreaming and distribution of related content are being pursued as the basis for a murder charge following the San Diego mosque shooting.
