Police have issued a warrant for Barry L. Saunders, the man suspected in a Saturday shooting spree at Westfield Southcenter mall that left one 16-year-old boy dead and another seriously injured.

Officers searching for Saunders, 21, say he is the sole suspect in the case. He may still be armed, and anyone with information is asked to call 911.

A warrant was issued Tuesday for the suspect in last weekend's shooting at Westfield Southcenter mall that killed one teen and wounded another one.

Saunders has lived in Kent and Tukwila, police spokesman Mike Murphy said. He has been charged with second-degree murder and first-degree assault.

Tukwila police declined to discuss additional details in the case, citing the continuing investigation.

About 3:45 p.m. Saturday, police said shots were fired on the mall's first floor just east of the central portion beneath the second-floor food court.
