A 17-year-old, King Payne, is facing adult charges—including attempted murder and felony firearm—after a violent shooting erupted during a Christmas tree lighting event at the Mall at Partridge Creek. The incident, which occurred when he was just 16, left another teen critically injured in the groin. Though a second suspect’s charges were dropped, Payne now sits on a $5 million bond and is set for arraignment on August 24th.
