Abington Police have arrested a suspect in the shooting outside of the Willow Grove Mall last weekend. 18-year-old Heyzer Perez-Maldonado of Philadelphia has been charged with attempted murder, aggravated assault, reckless endangerment, and carrying a firearm without a license. It happened just before 6 p.m. Sunday, 11/15, in the parking lot outside of Nordstrom Rack and Primark. One person was shot. They were taken to Abington-Jefferson Hospital with non life-threatening injuries. The shooting stemmed from an argument that happened inside the mall. Perez-Maldonado is being held until his preliminary arraignment. This past February, Perez-Maldonado was arrested with three others after crashing a U-Haul into a motorsports shop in Bensalem and stealing 10 dirt bikes worth $100,000 in total. He was out on bail while awaiting trial for that incident.
