Sacramento County Sheriff's detectives Thursday arrested the sixth and final suspect in the south Sacramento barbershop shootout that left two people dead last December.
Larry Dean Jones Jr., 29, was taken into custody without incident in Sacramento County, according to a Sheriff's Department news release.
Detectives from the Sheriff's Major Crimes Bureau and Gang Suppression arrested Jones at a residence in the county, the release states.
Jones was wanted in connection with the Dec. 14 shootout in the parking lot of the Fly Cuts Barber Shop in the 6900 block of Stockton Boulevard. The gunfire killed two people – Monique Nelson, 30, who detectives believe was shot while trying to protect her 2-year-old son, and Marvion Barksdale, 20, one of the suspected gunmen.
Detectives say the shootout – in which dozens of shots were fired inside and in front of the barbershop – was born of bad blood between the Mitchell brothers and the Barksdale clan. Tensions had escalated weeks before the shooting when Lonnie Mitchell allegedly robbed a Barksdale cousin, authorities say.
Jones was believed to have fled to Washington state after the shootout, but later returned to Sacramento County. Earlier this month, a segment of the TV show "America's Most Wanted" focused on the search for Jones.
Jones was expected to be booked into jail on suspicion of murder and assault with a deadly weapon, and held without bail, the release states.
Already facing multiple charges, including murder and assault with a deadly weapon, are: 27-year-old Dominique Marcell Lott, who was among the injured; Lonnie Orlando Mitchell Jr., 24; his brother Louis James Mitchell, 19; Charles Edward Barksdale III, 30, cousin of Marvion Barksdale; and James Leo Carney III, 31.
