Marquel Cockrell, co-owner of Sole Addict at Victor Valley Mall, fled after the shooting in Victorville, California, police said, and was arrested hours later by a Nevada freeway patrol. He faces charges of attempted murder. In an interview with CNN affiliate KCAL / KCBS, the girl’s grandmother, Robin Saldarelli, said Ava’s hand would remain in a splint while the bones healed after being crushed by three bullets. The girl and her family were next in line to meet the Easter bunny. Sole Addicts posted on Instagram that the store will be closed permanently. “My partner never intended to harm this little girl and I know he would like this little girl to be well,” the social media post said. Cockrell waived extradition during a Nevada court hearing Thursday, but was ordered to be held in Las Vegas for 30 days pending the filing of any local charges. He does not currently have a lawyer, according to the court and the Prosecutor’s Office.
