COLUMBIA, Md. — Less than 24 hours after a double shooting left one teen dead and another in critical condition near the Mall in Columbia, police have made an arrest.
Emmetson Zeah, 18, is charged with the murder of Michael Robertson, 16, and the attempted murder of Blake McCray, 15.
Howard County Police said Zeah opened fire on the pair, just before 6pm Saturday, near the Lidl parking lot on Little Patuxent Parkway.

Investigators believe Zeah targeted the teen victims, but didn't reveal a motive.
Detectives did recover the gun and clothing Zeah reportedly used during the shooting.
Zeah's also been linked to a February 14 incident on Twin Rivers Road, where he allegedly fired several shots at someone and missed.
This is the second fatal shooting by the mall in under a year.
Last July a teen was murdered inside the food court, launching a national manhunt for the shooter.
WMAR-2 News caught up with a couple concerned store employees immediately following this latest incident.
