On the evening of September 23, 2016, a rifle-armed gunman entered the Macy’s at the Cascade Mall in Burlington, Washington, and began shooting randomly. Six people were killed in the minute-long attack; among the victims was 16-year-old Sarai Lara, a sophomore at Mount Vernon High School who had gone to the mall with her family and entered Macy’s to shop for pants. Sarai was described as a cancer survivor.

The shooter was identified as 20-year-old Arcan Cetin of Oak Harbor. He was arrested the next day after authorities released surveillance images, and he later confessed to the five murders at the mall and was charged with five counts of aggravated murder. He reportedly expressed interest in ISIS and a witness said he called out a woman’s name during the shooting.

While held in Snohomish County Jail pending a mental health evaluation, Cetin was found hanging in his cell on the evening of April 16, 2017 and died by suicide, so criminal proceedings did not reach a trial.

If anyone knew Sarai or was at the mall that night and can add details about her or the events, please share what can help the record.
