Teen Accused in Mosque Massacre | Tampa News

Seventeen-year-old Sarah L. Santiago faces murder charges for allegedly helping two teenage gunmen orchestrate a deadly mosque attack in May 2026, which killed three people—including a security guard who died protecting children. Santiago is accused of livestreaming the violence, distributing extremist writings, and giving one shooter a white-supremacist patch, pointing to premeditation. The shooters, Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez, had planned attacks on a Jewish temple and a Black high school before taking their own lives. Investigators are uncovering a broader conspiracy, with Santiago indicted on four counts including murder and conspiracy. Meanwhile, Clark’s family points to autism and online radicalization as contributing factors to his descent into extremism.
