Albuquerque, NM (KKOB) — APD detectives arrested 16-year-old Julian Hernandez Thursday for his warrant related to the shooting at Coronado Mall on March 30, 2024.
Detectives identified Hernandez in April as the juvenile who fired a single gunshot as he exited the food court area of the mall. Officers learned from witnesses that a group of juveniles were seated at a table in the food court at Coronado Mall when one male juvenile grabbed a bag, yelled an obscenity and ran toward an exit. Another juvenile, later identified as Hernandez, ran toward the first juvenile while reaching for his waist and produced a firearm. Witnesses described hearing a single gunshot.
Detectives had been searching for Hernandez. He was located Thursday afternoon at a home on Calle del Sueno Way, S.W. and taken into custody. He is being booked into the Bernalillo County Juvenile Detention Center on a charge of negligent use of a deadly weapon.
