Teen Charged in Mall Stabbing | Oakland News

A chilling case unfolds as 19-year-old Tyler Leibelt faces murder charges for allegedly stabbing 73-year-old Rachell Summers in a Capitola Mall — a victim described as a sweet grandma celebrating her grandson’s upcoming birthday.

Now, detectives are urging witnesses to come forward as Leibelt prepares to enter a plea. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
