A 17-year-old North Carolina girl, Sarah L. Santiago, has been indicted on murder charges for allegedly recording and distributing a livestream of a deadly San Diego mosque shooting and sharing the attackers' manifesto. The incident occurred on May 18, 2026, when two individuals entered the Islamic Center of San Diego armed with weapons, killing three men before taking their own lives. Authorities allege Santiago, who was in North Carolina at the time, conspired with the attackers beforehand, including purchasing a white-supremacist patch for one of them.

The case is part of a larger investigation into a planned series of attacks targeting religious sites.
