North Carolina teen indicted for aiding San Diego mosque shooters via livestream and manifesto

A 17-year-old North Carolina girl, Sarah L. Santiago, has been charged with three counts of murder and one count of conspiracy for her role in the May 18, 2026, attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego. Prosecutors allege she recorded a livestream of the shooting, distributed the footage, and published a white supremacist manifesto written by the two teenage gunmen, Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez. The attackers killed security guard Amin Abdullah and two worshippers, Mansour Kaziha and Nadir Awad, before taking their own lives. Santiago is being tried as an adult under North Carolina law, which equates aiding and abetting penalties with those for the principal offender.

North Carolina teen indicted for aiding San Diego mosque attackers via livestream

Sarah Santiago, a 17-year-old from North Carolina, has been charged with three counts of first-degree murder and one count of conspiracy for her role in the May 18 attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego. Prosecutors allege she recorded a livestream of the shooting, distributed the attackers' manifesto, and provided a neo-Nazi patch for one of the gunmen to wear. Under North Carolina law, her aiding-and-abetting charges carry the same penalties as if she had committed the killings herself. The attack, carried out by Cain Clark and Caleb Vazquez, killed three people: security guard Amin Abdullah and worshippers Mansour Kaziha and Nader Awad. Investigators say the gunmen planned further attacks on a Jewish temple and a predominantly Black high school but died by suicide at the scene. Santiago’s arrest was expedited before the start of the school year due to concerns about her potential for further violence.
