North Carolina teenager charged with murder over San Diego mosque attack

A 17-year-old girl from North Carolina has been indicted on murder charges in connection with a deadly shooting at a San Diego Islamic centre, Google News MT reports. Prosecutors allege she played an active role in the attack by helping to livestream it in real time.

The teenager, whose name has not been published given her age, is said to have assisted the shooters remotely from North Carolina while the attack unfolded in California. Prosecutors contend that her participation in broadcasting the violence made her a party to the crime.

The indictment adds a new dimension to the case, highlighting the role of remote accomplices in facilitating and publicising acts of violence. Authorities have not disclosed further details about how the livestream was organised or which platform was used.

The shooting at the San Diego Islamic Center drew widespread attention following the involvement of multiple suspects. The case is now being handled partly across state lines, with prosecutors in California pursuing charges against a suspect who was physically present in another state at the time of the attack.

The teenager faces murder charges as a minor, though it remains unclear at this stage whether she will be prosecuted as an adult. Court proceedings are expected to continue in the coming weeks.
