18-year-old arrested, accused of shooting at Sierra Vista Mall, Clovis police say
Clovis police on Friday accused an 18-year-old of being the shooter behind violence at Sierra Vista Mall earlier in the week.
Police said Aiden Seibert of Clovis shot a young person before 10 p.m. Tuesday at Sierra Vista Mall after two groups of juveniles exchanged words.
The victim was wounded in the lower body and taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries, police said. The victim’s age was not available.
The shooting was not gang-related, police said.
The mall was already closed at the time of the shooting, police said, and no businesses were affected.
Police said Seibert was arrested following a traffic stop in which officers found him with a loaded privately manufactured 9mm handgun with no serial number, commonly called a “ghost gun.”
The gun also had an illegal high capacity magazine, police said.
Anyone with information is asked to call Clovis police at 559-324-2800, or Valley CrimeStoppers at 559-498-7867.
