Wauwatosa, Wisconsin - On Thursday, Xavier Sevilla, 18, of Milwaukee was sentenced to 20 years in prison with initial confinement of 15 years and 5 years of extended supervision for the November 20, 2020 Mayfair Mall mass shooting incident when he was 15 at the time during an altercation with another individual that resulted in eight victims being shot with non-life threatening injuries.

Sevilla went to the Mayfair Mall with a loaded handgun and he fired a 17 shot handgun indiscriminately striking innocent victims after he punched another individual in an escalator and his friends rushed him during an altercation inside the mall. Sevilla took the handgun from his waistline and fired the weapon as a group of individuals fled for their lives.

Sevilla pleaded guilty in January 2023 to 5 felony counts for 1st-degree reckless injury with a dangerous weapon in a plea deal, and 5 other criminal counts were dismissed by the Milwaukee County District Attorney's Office in a plea deal agreement. The dismissed criminal counts included, 3 felony counts for 1st-degree reckless injury with a weapon and 2 misdemeanor counts for carrying a concealed weapon and possession of a weapon by a person under the age of 18, which were read into the record on his sentencing hearing.
