A second suspect was arrested in connection with the shooting in Sacramento, California that left six people dead and 12 injured.
Smiley Martin, 27, was taken into custody on Tuesday and booked for possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun, the Sacramento Police Department said in a press release.
Police said Smiley Martin is the brother of Dandrae Martin, who was arrested on Monday and booked on charges of assault with a firearm and illegal firearm possession.
"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," according to the press release.
It is unclear if police are searching for additional suspects. A spokesperson for Sacramento PD did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
"Once Smiley Martin's medical care has been completed and he is determined to be fit for incarceration, he will be booked at the Sacramento County Main Jail," according to the press release. "The Sacramento County District Attorney's Office will be reviewing all evidence to determine appropriate charges."
