The Sacramento Police Department made the first arrest related to a mass shooting in the early hours of Sunday morning that left six people dead and 18 others wounded.
Dandrae Martin, 26, was arrested on Monday morning and is facing charges of assault with a deadly weapon and unlawful possession of a firearm by a felon. The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office will review evidence and could file additional charges.
The Sacramento Police Department SWAT team has served search warrants at three residences and recovered at least one handgun in the wake of the shooting. Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester said Sunday that a stolen handgun was also recovered at the scene. Sacramento Police crime scene investigators place evidence markers on 10th street at the scene of a mass shooting in Sacramento, Calif., on Sunday, April 3, 2022.
"We know that a large fight took place just prior to the shooting and we have confirmed that there are multiple shooters," Lester said at a press conference. Three men and three women were killed by gunfire, while a dozen others were wounded and are being treated at area hospitals. The six deceased victims were identified on Monday as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; and Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21; Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; and Devazia Turner, 29.
