apartment. somehow he made contact. the autopsy revealed he had apparently tortured her after he tied her up with a knife and killed her by plugging the knife in her spleen, her lung and spinal cord. he also slashed her throat. this murder and apparent random nature of it has a number of people in the northeast neighborhood, that east capitol hill neighborhood where it took place troubled tonight. take a listen to one of the neighbors. >> i'm not changing behavior based on that because i was already being careful. but it makes us all really sad to know that that has happened to a beautiful young lady. stephen: now the crucial break came when toure visited some friends at a temporary workplace on hamilton street where he used to do odd jobs. he at most recent days has been

shelter according to investigators. he talked with people there at that work site. one of them recognized him from the surveillance video and con tacked police. he should be appearing in court any minute. we'll be back next hour with more on what goes down in the courtroom. reporting live, stephen tschida, abc7 news. michelle: horrible. thanks. a new twist in a double murder at the wheaton mall. abc7 was there january 10 as police swarmed the shopping center. now we are learning prosecutors dropped all charges against the 18-year-old accused killer. only on abc7, montgomery county reporter kevin lewis speaks with the now exonerated teen. kevin? kevin: michelle, angelo jackson was bracing for a double murder trial at the montgomery county circuit court. his saving grace? grainy mall surveillance video, high-paid defense attorney and prosecutors with no interest in a wrongful conviction. angelo jackson sat in jail for

killing two men at the westfield wheaton mall. from the get-go, police claimed surveillance cameras caught jackson but now the prosecutors tossed out the entire case due to a look of the sufficient evidence. >> have you been to the mall before? >> never been before. no. no way. never been there before. kevin: jackson says he was recording rap music at a friend's georgetown studio 20 miles away on the day of the killings. the 18-year-old relieved to be back home in mismontgomery county village neighborhood. >> i'm home, it's a blessing. i should never been in there. why was i in there for three months? for what? something i didn't do. kevin: so who is responsible for this midday double murder at the wheaton westfield mall? major crimes detectives aren't really sure right now and that is alarming to many people in the area.

to attack this school. today what we are hearing in the community is really more compassion for her. at catoctin high school today there is no sign of the danger the frederick county sheriff says was averted. the school is quiet students move to and from class as normal. the spokesman says it's not an illusion. >> in the meantime, incident like this happens, the students and the staff buckle down and try to return to formal. that is what you see here. >> the news was stunning. an 18-year-old student named nichole cevario was planning to use a shotgun and homemade pipe bombs to attack her own school in the small town of thurmont. >> thinking and planning out and carrying out an attack much like columbine or sandy hook. brad: today we are hearing more compassion than anger directed at cevario who

hospitalized and undergoing psychiatric treatment and evaluation. >> i hope she gets the help she needs. i'm just thankful for her parents that actually stepped up. went and contacted the police or the school. brad: live in thurgood. you are looking up at the school. the door is the athletic end of the school. we have been watching teams coming and going. lacrosse team loaded on a bus and went to a game. baseball players coming and going. in other words a normal quiet afternoon at the school. now when we come back at 5:00, you will hear from the young lady's own personal friends. their thoughts about her as well. they are worried about her well being. michelle: thank you. if you would lake to see the original reporting on this log on to wjla
