   SACRAMENTO, Calif. — At least five shooters fired guns during a   
   gang-related gunbattle in downtown Sacramento Sunday that killed   
   six people and injured 12 others, police said on Wednesday.   
      
   “As detectives learn more about the shootings, it is   
   increasingly clear that gang violence is at the center of this   
   tragedy,” Sacramento police said in a release. “While we cannot   
   at this time elaborate on the precise gang affiliation of   
   individuals involved, gangs and gang violence are inseparable   
   from the events that drove these shootings.”   
      
   There were two groups involved in an exchange of gunfire,   
   Sacramento Police Department spokesman Sgt. Zach Eaton said.   
      
   "The identities of the shooters are still being worked through   
   but based off of witness information, written information, as   
   well as are the numerous videos that we have received, we   
   believe at this point there are five shooters," he said.   
      
   Eaton said that nearly 200 videos have been submitted through   
   the QR code that the police department has created.

   “This tragedy downtown is a very public example of what families   
   in many of our neighborhoods know too well," Sacramento Police   
   Chief Kathy Lester said in a statement. “The suffering inflicted   
   by gang violence does not limit itself to gang members. It   
   spills over to claim and shatter innocent lives and harm our   
   entire community.”   
      
   What we know about the suspects   
   Two brothers have been arrested so far in connection with the   
   shooting.   
      
   The first suspect arrested was 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, who   
   was taken into custody on Monday. Dandrae Martin is being held   
   in the Sacramento County Jail without bail and made a brief   
   initial court appearance on Tuesday. He was arrested on assault   
   with a firearm and being a prohibited person in possession of a   
   firearm charges, but the Sacramento County District Attorney's   
   Office only read the firearm charge at Dandrae's court   
   appearance. Even though the district attorney only presented the   
   one charge, police said Dandrae was arrested for the shooting,   
   believing he fired a gun during the shooting.   
      
   The second suspect was identified as 27-year-old Smiley Martin,   
   who was taken into custody Tuesday on charges that include   
   possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of   
   a machine gun. He had posted a live Facebook video of himself   
   brandishing a handgun hours before gunfire erupted, a law   
   enforcement official told The Associated Press.   
      
   Smiley Martin sustained serious injuries from the shooting and   
   is currently in a nearby hospital for treatment. He will be   
   booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail once he is released   
   from the hospital.   
      
   Investigators believe the brothers possessed stolen guns and are   
   working to review financial documents, call records and social   
   media messages to determine how and when they procured weapons,   
   the official said.   
      
   Both suspects arrested had criminal history   
   KCRA 3 Investigates learned Dandrae Martin has also had previous   
   run-ins with the law.   
      
   Dandrae has been wanted in Riverside County since 2015. Jail   
   records show he has an outstanding warrant for a misdemeanor   
   domestic violence charge.   
      
   According to court documents, Dandrae “inflicted bodily injury   
   resulting in a traumatic condition” to his spouse.   
      
   Dandrae pleaded guilty to the charge in 2014 and was sentenced   
   to 30 days of custody and 36 months of probation.   
      
   The Riverside County District Attorney's Office confirmed to NBC   
   News that Dandrae later violated two terms of probation: the   
   community service requirement, and the 52-week class requirement.   
      
   A $5,000 bench warrant was issued by the court in 2015.   
      
   KCRA 3 Investigates also learned Dandrae spent time in an   
   Arizona prison. He was released in 2020 after serving just over   
   a year-and-a-half for violating probation in separate felony   
   convictions for an attempt to commit aggravated assault in 2016,   
   and a conviction on a marijuana charge in 2018.   
      
   Meanwhile, Smiley Martin has had run-ins with the law in   
   Sacramento County since at least 2013.   
      
   In a letter last year to the Board of Parole Hearings, the DA’s   
   office called Smiley’s criminal conduct "violent and lengthy."   
   They wrote that he committed several felony violations and had   
   "little regard for human life and the law."   
      
   The letter states that six months after his 18th birthday in   
   2013, Smiley was arrested and later sentenced after he was found
