Police have arrested a second suspect in connection to Sunday’s mass shooting in Sacramento on Tuesday.
The Sacramento Police Department identified Smiley Martin, 27, as a person of interest who was taken to an area hospital after suffering serious gunfire injuries from the scene of the shooting. It is unclear when Martin went from a person of interest to a suspect. An officer will supervise him at the hospital while his treatment continues, SPD wrote in a press release.
Dandrae Martin, Smiley Martin’s brother, was arrested Monday and booked on charges of assault with a firearm and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, Police Chief Kathy Lester said.
