Sacramento shooting suspect Dandra Martin appeared in court on Tuesday on charges of assault and illegal possession of a firearm in connection with a barrage of bullets that killed six people and injured 12 in downtown on Sunday. Shots were fired around 2 a.m. in a neighborhood full of bars and restaurants that had just announced their final call. There may have been a clash with several people in the area and investigators believe there were many gunmen, according to Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester. More than 100 shots were fired and dozens of witnesses provided video evidence. Martin, 26, appeared in a cage in the courtroom in an orange prison uniform and a blue medical mask, with his hair braided. The short process ended around 3:20 p.m. PST. Dandrae Martin will appear in court in Sacramento County on Tuesday, where his case was adjourned until April 27.

In a statement Monday, prosecutor Anne Marie Schubert said Martin had not been charged with murder in the case – but noted that an investigation was ongoing. “We will look at the evidence provided in our office and determine which categories, if any, are appropriate,” he said. “If charges are brought, the complaint will be made public.” Police have arrested three suspects and are expected to arrest more in connection with the massacre. So far, Martin, Smiley Martin’s brother, 27, and Daviyonne Dawson, 31, have been charged.

He served half of his 10-year sentence. He was taken to hospital after suffering serious injuries in Sunday’s clash – and when he recovers he is expected to face charges of being a gunman and possessing a machine gun. Like his brother, Dandrae Martin is also convicted, who was released from prison in Arizona last year after violating his suspension in a felony case in which he beat a woman who refused to work for him as a prostitute.
