LANSING, Mich. — A 19-year-old Lansing woman has been arrested and charged following a shooting that injured two individuals in the parking lot of Meridian Mall on Friday afternoon.
Alexia Isabel Jimenez was taken into custody after authorities responded to reports of gunfire near Dick’s Sporting Goods at approximately 1:25 p.m. Meridian Township Police, along with other agencies, arrived to find the scene cleared, but two victims were later identified and treated at a nearby hospital.
