[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Juhyung] In the United States, four teenage girls assaulted a peer girl and even live-streamed the incident on social media, sparking public outrage.

According to local U.S. media such as 'USA Today' on the 27th (local time), on the 23rd, four girls aged 12, 13 (two girls), and 14 assaulted a girl at a Walmart in Louisiana and then fled the scene. They live-streamed the entire incident on social media.

The victim sustained fatal injuries from the assault and was immediately transported to a hospital after being found but ultimately passed away.

The video posted on social media reportedly showed the assailant girls stabbing the victim with a weapon and exchanging remarks that appeared to mock the victim’s death.

The police began searching for suspects after the victim was pronounced dead at the hospital.

The problematic social media video was uploaded to online communities while the police were searching for the suspects. The police tracked it down, identified the suspects, and launched a full investigation.

The police first arrested one 13-year-old girl among the four assailants and then apprehended the other three accomplice girls.

According to the police investigation, the weapon used in the crime was discarded near the Walmart.

In an interview with local media, the police stated, "The entire murder process was replayed on social media," and "The uploaded videos, photos, and posts were truly horrific."

The police plan to investigate the exact motive behind the assailants' crime.

Meanwhile, one of the arrested girls has been charged with second-degree murder, while the other three face charges of aiding the murder.
