One teenager is dead and another wounded following a shooting this afternoon at Westfield Southcenter mall in Tukwila.
Police are searching for a suspect inside the mall, which has been locked down for hours. Many shoppers and store employees fled the mall after shots were reported just before 3:45 p.m.
The two victims were transported to Harborview Medical Center. A Harborview spokeswoman confirmed the identity of the dead teen as Daiquin L. Jones, 16. A 15-year-old boy, Jermaine McGowen, remains in serious condition, but his injuries are described as non-life-threatening.
The incident occurred near the south main entrance of the mall, in a corridor near two restaurants. Police said they have talked to one eyewitness and are reviewing surveillance tapes.

The mall parking lot was a mess, witnesses said, as police evacuated people there from inside.
"Everyone's standing around outside. There's no movement. Cars are taking up every space and traffic's not moving," said a worker at the Olive Garden restaurant, located in the mall parking lot, shortly after the shooting.
