Police have arrested a suspect in the Sacramento shooting on Sunday that killed six people in the city's deadliest gun-related crime in history, ABC News reports.
The Sacramento Police Department has arrested 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, describing the man as a "related suspect".
Martin has been charged with assault and illegal firearm possession following an overnight investigation. Authorities did not release any further details regarding his alleged involvement.
The incident broke out on K Street in downtown Sacramento on early Sunday morning - moments after a fight occurred in the area, the Sacramento Police Department said.
Investigators found more than 100 shell casings at the scene and discovered that at least three buildings and three vehicles were hit by the shots fired.
They believe more than one gunman to be responsible for the killings as they continue to sift through the evidence, Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester said at a press conference on Sunday afternoon.
Per CBS News, police did not reveal much regarding their hunt for other suspects but did say search warrants had been served at three residences and at least one firearm had been recovered.
Footage at the time showed people running in terror as the sound of gunfire could be heard in the background.
The day after the massacre, the Sacramento County Coroner's office identified the deceased victims as Johntaya Alexander, 21; Melinda Davis, 57; Sergio Harris, 38; Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32; Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21; and Devazia Turner, 29.
Lester revealed at the press conference that at least 12 people sustained injuries after the shooting broke out on Sunday.
The 12 victims who were wounded in the shooting continue to receive treatment at the hospital. Police revealed that their conditions range from minor to critical but stable.
Sacramento Mayor Darrell Steinberg spoke out about the ordeal during a news conference on Sunday afternoon, describing it as "a senseless and unacceptable tragedy."
"And I emphasize the word unacceptable," Steinberg said. "Thoughts and prayers are not nearly enough. We must do more as a city as a state and as a nation."
President Joe Biden also spoke out about the tragedy in a statement on Monday, urging lawmakers and the nation as a whole to "act".
He said: "We know these lives were not the only lives impacted by gun violence last night. And we equally mourn for those victims and families who do not make national headlines. But we must do more than mourn; we must act."
