17-year-old Nathan Poindexter, shot and killed

AURORA, Co.-- Police have arrested a suspect in a mall shooting that killed 17-year-old Nathan Poindexter in Aurora. The capture of 18-year-old Kamyl Xavier Garrette was announced the day after the Friday shooting inside a J.C. Penney store at the Town Center at Aurora mall.

The gunfire sent shoppers fleeing for safety and led police to order people to shelter in place until they determined there was no active shooter. It's the second shooting this month at the mall.

According to our CNN affiliate, Nathan Poindexter was shot at JC Penny around 4 PM, and later died at the hospital.

Police say this appears to be an isolated incident and shoppers shouldn't be afraid of more violence.
