The Metropolitan Police Department says a second suspect has been arrested after a fight escalated into a fatal shooting that left one person dead and two others injured.

According to police, at about 4 p.m. on May 18, Metro received a report of a shooting in the 7300 block of Prairie Falcon Road, near Tenaya Way and Smoke Ranch Road.

A man later identified as Carl Chester Jr., 41, was pronounced dead at the scene and two other victims were taken to a local hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

The suspected fled the area before police arrived, authorities said. However, on May 24, police announced that Keveon Glenn, 29, was arrested in connection with the incident.

On Friday, police updated that a second suspect, identified as Michael Mays, 63, was arrested Wednesday in connection with the shooting.
