SACRAMENTO — Police have arrested a second suspect on Monday April 24, 2017, in connection with a shooting at a Sacramento restaurant on Valentine’s Day. The first suspect was arrested on March 16, 2017.
The Sacramento Police Department gang unit — with assistance from the Davis Police Department—have identified the two suspects as Dan Martin, 21, of Sacramento, and Allen Pina, 20, of Vallejo, for a shooting that occurred at approximately 8:30 p.m. on February 14, 2017, at the Golden Corral restaurant on West Stockton Boulevard in South Sacramento.
When officers arrived at the restaurant, they learned that two groups of people were in the midst of an argument in the busy restaurant. The argument escalated when people in each group pulled out guns and shot at each other. One of the wounded was a Sacramento resident who was determined not to have been associated with either group. The other person, from Vallejo, was associated with the group, said police.
Martin was arrested March 16 and booked into Sacramento County Jail on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, possession of a firearm and probation violation. Allen, meanwhile, was arrested by U.S. Marshals in Vallejo on Monday, April 24, and booked into Sacramento County Jail on suspicion of attempted murder and firearms offenses.
The Sacramento County Attorney’s Office has said no photos of Martin and Pina have yet been released, due to the ongoing investigation.
