Teen Charged With Murder In Fatal Shooting Near San Jose Mall: Police

SAN JOSE, CA — A teenager is charged with murder in connection with a fatal shooting near a San Jose mall, police said.

Matthew Antracoli, 18, of San Mateo, was arrested last week in Morgan Hill and booked into Santa Clara County jail, according to police.
