A man has been charged for killing 15 year old Jaheem Mahler. 28 year old Carl Reneau was arrested and charged with murder today. Police still have not established a clear motive and say there is no connection between Mahler and Reneau. So there are still more questions to be answered.
As we told you last night, Mahler left his grandmother's home on Fabers Road around 7:00 on Tuesday night. Mahler said he was going to buy an ideal from the store but he never made it back to his gran's house.
The information is that Mahler was riding his bicycle on Iguana Street Extension with 2 other boys when a gunman shot him about 8 times. Mahler was hit to his chest, back, hand and feet. A few eyewitnesses told us that Mahler was in a fight with other boys in front of a Raccon Street Chinese Store Street before the shooting, but the family and police told us today that there was no fight.
As you heard in last night's police interview, there is nothing in Mahler's past or present to indicate that he is associated with any gang. The family also stresses that position. Mahler was a student at the Gateway Youth Center.
