Another suspect, Marion Lewis, 18, was shot and arrested last week after trying to evade police officers on a busy freeway. He was shot when he allegedly tried to carjack a family stuck in traffic.
Lewis is also charged with murder, among a slew of felony charges. Authorities believe he drove the car the shooters used to open fire at Adams and her father.
Over the weekend, Brown vowed authorities were on the hunt for more suspects in this case.
Adams was killed and her father was shot while they were sitting in a McDonald’s drive-thru in a brazen killing that has shaken the city. He recovered and was released from a hospital. After the shooting, Akins Akinnagbe, the owner of the McDonald’s said he was “deeply saddened by this horrific event.”
“We are grateful to local law enforcement for their swift response and are fully cooperating with their investigation into the matter,” he said in a statement provided to Fox News by a McDonald’s spokesperson.
