SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- Police have arrested a suspect in connection with a shooting at Destiny USA on Black Friday.

Syracuse police arrested Kyree Truax, 21 of Syracuse, early Saturday morning, according to court papers obtained by syracuse.com.

Truax was arraigned in city court Saturday morning shortly after 9 a.m. He’s been charged with second-degree assault and second-degree criminal possession of a weapon, both felonies. He was also charged with second-degree reckless endangerment, a misdemeanor.

Truax is accused of shooting a victim in the legs with a handgun shortly after 7 p.m. near the Kay Jewelers store at the mall Friday night. The two men had been in a fight.

The shooting caused a mass panic at the mall on one of the busiest shopping days of the year. Shoppers huddled in back rooms and rumors spread of an active shooter. The mall closed for the night shortly after.

According to the criminal complaint, there were many people around, including children. Truax’s “reckless behavior” put patrons at serious risk, police said.

Truax is being held at the Justice Center on $100,000 bail or $250,000 bond.

Truax was previously arrested in 2015 and charged with burglarizing a home near the Skytop Apartments on Syracuse University’s south campus, according to syracuse.com archives. During the 2017 New York State Fair, Truax was charged with chasing after a man and swinging at him with a folding knife.

Syracuse police officials plan to host a news conference at 11 a.m. today to release information relating to the arrest. Syracuse.com will have live coverage of that press conference.
