MINNEAPOLIS—A Minneapolis man said he came to the Mall of America Friday “looking for someone to kill” before throwing a five-year-old boy nearly 40 feet over a railing in an attack that shocked the nation. According to a criminal complaint, Emmanuel Deshawn Aranda said he came to the Mall of America “looking for someone to kill” before throwing a five-year-old boy nearly 40 feet over a railing. Aranda confessed to the attack, according to a criminal complaint filed in Hennepin County District Court. In 2015, he was arrested at the Mall of America after a police officer saw him throwing items from the mall’s upper level. He was arrested at the mall weeks later for aggressively panhandling and harassing two women and for throwing drinking glasses at diners in a mall restaurant.
