PROVIDENCE, R.I. (AP) — A 17-year-old boy arrested in connection with a shooting at a Rhode Island mall that left one person injured was released to home confinement.
A family court judge on Tuesday denied the state’s request to detain the teen.
Providence Police Chief Hugh Clements Jr. told WPRO’s Gene Valicenti Tuesday that the teen was arrested at a Pawtucket home hours after the Monday afternoon shooting in the Providence Place mall parking garage outside a Nordstrom department store entrance.
A 19-year-old victim, identified as Leonard Liriano, of Cranston, was shot in the leg in what police called a targeted shooting. His injuries aren’t considered life threatening.
