EDITOR'S NOTE, 3/28/17: Prosecutors have dropped charges against Angelo Lamont Jackson.
Police have identified the second man who was fatally stabbed Tuesday inside the Westfield Wheaton mall in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Police said Thursday that Kevin Siloe Moya Cruz, 22, of Wheaton, died in the incident. A day earlier, they released the identity of the other victim, Angel Alfredo Gomez-Pineda, 24, of Silver Spring.
A teenager was charged in their deaths.
Cruz and Gomez-Pineda were stabbed after they were involved in a fight on the lower level of the mall, near the Hollister clothing store, police said.
Police said in an update Wednesday that four young men broke bamboo sticks that were in a planter inside the mall and wielded them against a young man.
The conflict died down, but then the man who had been attacked with the sticks returned with a knife, police said.
Officers were called to the mall about 3:15 p.m., where they found the victims with life-threatening stab wounds.
A teenage girl who said she worked in the mall said she saw a "kid" who was attacked. His friends were trying to help him, she said, declining to give her name.
"What I saw was a whole bunch of police officers. They were everywhere. They had every intersection of this mall locked down," another apparent witness, D'Aaron Dixon said.
