26-year-old Dandrae Martin (brother of Smiley Martin) was taken into custody on Monday as a “related suspect” and was charged with assault and illegal firearm possession, CNN reported.
Via the Sacramento Police Department:
A second suspect has now been identified in this incident. 27-year-old Smiley Martin was located at the scene with serious injuries from gunfire and was transported to an area hospital for treatment. Smiley Martin was quickly identified as a person of interest and has remained under the supervision of an officer at the hospital while his treatment continues. Based on information developed during this investigation, Smiley Martin was taken into custody by Sacramento Police Department detectives on April 5, 2022.
