Court documents say Mason and the man who was injured were at the mall and walked to a car that looked like theirs and was parked in the same area. The man told police the suspect opened fire from the car's back seat, killing Mason, then chased him as he ran from the car and shot him from about 10 feet away.

The suspect told police he thought he was about to robbed and opened fire to protect himself.

The shooting was the first of two this year at the mall. An 18-year-old man accidentally shot himself there on Feb. 17.
