Wauwatosa police have arrested a 15-year-old Milwaukee boy who they believe opened fire at Mayfair mall Friday afternoon, sending eight to the hospital.

Police Chief Barry Weber said the suspect was arrested Saturday night and that the shooting was the result of an altercation between two groups of people at the mall.

"We do know there was some sort of altercation, and that's when the bullets started flying," Weber said during a Sunday news conference.

Police had said Friday that witnesses described the shooter as a white man in his 20s or 30s. But Weber described the suspect as a 15-year-old Hispanic boy. His firearm was recovered during the arrest.

Four innocent bystanders were among those who received non-life-threatening injuries during the shooting.

So much suffering unleashed by one little shithead lacking even basic coping and problem solving skills.

Shopping mall hanging out is soooooo 2004.

And now we know why witnesses descriptions only carry so much weight.

An 18-year-old was sentenced Thursday, March 30 to 15 years in prison for the 2020 shooting at Mayfair Mall.

Xavier Sevilla, who was 15 years old at the time of the shooting, pleaded guilty in January to five counts of first-degree reckless injury with a dangerous weapon. Five other criminal counts were dismissed as part of a plea deal.

The judge granted Sevilla credit for three years' time served. He was also sentenced to five years of extended supervision.

Prosecutors said Sevilla punched someone while on an escalator at Mayfair Mall. When that person's friends rushed him, Sevilla allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and started shooting.

"What I did was violent, what I did was unnecessary, what I did was wrong," Sevilla said in court Thursday. "I understand my actions has done irreversible harm to the community."

The November 2020 shooting in Wauwatosa sent eight people to the hospital. All eight survived.

Sevilla will be 30 years old when he is released from prison.
