PHOENIX — Tempe Police have identified three suspects in a shooting that happened back in September at Arizona Mills mall.

The Criminal Investigations Bureau looked through hours of surveillance videos in order to identify the suspects. 

A 16-year-old suspect was charged with multiple counts including aggravated assault, endangerment, unlawful discharge of a firearm, disorderly conduct and for being a minor in possession of a firearm.

Gabriel Victor Garcia, 19, faces multiple charges including aggravated assault, unlawful discharge of a firearm, endangerment and disorderly conduct.

Marvin Hooks, 22, was charged with one count of conspiracy.

The shooting occurred inside the food court of the mall around 7:30 p.m. on Sept. 13, according to the Tempe Police Department. There was an argument between two groups that led to the shooting, police said.

No one was injured and the suspects fled from the area, according to police.

Officers conducted multiple sweeps of the area and spoke with several witnesses that night.

Authorities from several local law enforcement agencies responded to the incident.

No further details were released.
