Wisconsin police are looking for a teenage suspect in a mall shooting that left one person dead and another injured.
Grand Chute police appointed Dezman Ellis, 17, as the prime suspect in the Fox River Mall shooting on January 31. Police believe Ellis specifically targeted the victims.
When the shooting started, police warned consumers to take shelter on the spot, while advising the public to avoid the area. Some buyers immediately fled the scene.

Haylie Mirr, who works at a mall restaurant called Box Lunch, said she knew nothing about the shooting, but said, “People started running. We just locked the doors and we had four customers in the store, we brought them into our room of the funds. “
Buyers waited three hours before the police gave a permit.
Jovanni J. Frausto, 19, died at the scene, while a second person was taken to a hospital with minor injuries and later released.
