SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\nSacramento County prosecutors to retry K Street shooting suspects<\/p>\n
SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014<\/p>\n
The two men accused in the K Street shooting are headed back to court, as prosecutors are retrying the case after the first trial ended in a mistrial. <\/a><\/p>\n The Sacramento County District Attorney’s Office said the next court date for Dandrae Martin and Mtula Payton is set for Jan. 7, 2027. <\/p>\n Prosecutors didn’t confirm what new charges the two men are facing. <\/p>\n The April 3, 2022, shooting left six people dead and 12 others injured along downtown’s K Street corridor. The first trial ended in a mistrial after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision. <\/p>\n Although six people were killed in the shooting, only three are considered victims because of a California law that states anyone who participates in a shooting that injures or kills someone is not a victim. <\/p>\n Martin and Payton are the two surviving suspects in the case. Dandrae’s brother, Smiley Martin, was also arrested, but he died in custody in 2024. <\/p>\n During the first trial, prosecutors dropped first-degree murder charges after the jury was unable to reach a unanimous decision. The jury returned to deliberate second-degree murder charges, but could still not come to a verdict.<\/p>\n However, Dandrae Martin and Payton were convicted on their weapons charges for being felons in possession of firearms.<\/p>\n The victims in the K Street shooting<\/p>\n The three victims were 21-year-old Johntaya “JoJo” Alexander, 57-year-old Melinda Davis, and 21-year-old Yamile Martinez-Andrade.<\/p>\n Sergio Harris, DeVazia Turner and Joshua Hoye-Luchessi also died in the shooting, but California law does not consider people who participated in gunbattles that result in death or injury to be victims.<\/p>\n See more coverage of top California stories here<\/a> | Download our app<\/a> | Subscribe to our morning newsletter<\/a> | Find us on YouTube here and subscribe to our channel<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sacramento County prosecutors to retry K Street shooting suspects SACRAMENTO, Calif. \u2014 The two men accused in the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":483420,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[48880,189310,3501,1436,109192,7359,6787,189313,6295,133521,161181,189311,153946,50118,29663,20628,127436,48099,1555,131397,46759,109195,592,7214,121,357,123,122,189309,29023,135,109196,2601,189312,189314],"class_list":["post-483419","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sacramento","tag-48880","tag-april-2022-shooting","tag-california-law","tag-case","tag-dandrae-martin","tag-district-attorney","tag-downtown-sacramento","tag-felons-in-possession","tag-first-degree-murder","tag-first-trial","tag-first-degree-murder-charge","tag-jan-7","tag-johntaya-alexander","tag-jojo","tag-jury","tag-k-street","tag-k-street-corridor","tag-k-street-shooting","tag-man","tag-melinda-davis","tag-mistrial","tag-mtula-payton","tag-people","tag-prosecutor","tag-sacramento","tag-sacramento-county","tag-sacramento-headlines","tag-sacramento-news","tag-sacramento-prosecutors","tag-second-degree-murder","tag-shooting","tag-smiley-martin","tag-victim","tag-weapon-charges","tag-yamile-martinez-andrade"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483419","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=483419"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/483419\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/483420"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=483419"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=483419"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=483419"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
