  • A third man, Daviyonne Dawson, 31, was arrested on Monday night for carrying a gun in the area of the Sacramento shooting while being banned from carrying one
    • Smiley Martin who allegedly opened fire on a crowd in downtown Sacramento was released from prison in February - just four years into a 10-year sentence
    • Prosecutors from the Sacramento District Attorney's Office had asked California's Department of Corrections parole board to deny Smiley Martin's request for early release
    • They argued Martin, 27, 'displayed a pattern of criminal behavior' his entire adult life and would 'continue to break the law' if he were released
    • But the parole board granted Martin early release, citing pre-sentencing credits

  • Daviyonne Dawson was released from the Sacramento County Jail on Tuesday
  • He was booked on possession of a firearm but posted some of his $500k bail
  • He is one of three men arrested over the shooting on Sunday that killed six
  • Police sources cited by The L.A. Times say he was not involved in the shooting but had a gun illegally at the scene at the time
Police now say that the shooting was gang-related and likely between two rival groups.

'Evidence in the case indicates that at least five shooters fired guns during the shooting, and that an exchange of gunfire took place between at least two groups of men. As detectives continue to identify shooters and weapons involved, the number of identified shooters may grow beyond five.

'As detectives learn more about the shootings, it is increasingly clear that gang violence is at the center of this tragedy.

'While we cannot at this time elaborate on the precise gang affiliation of individuals involved, gangs and gang violence are inseparable from the events that drove these shootings,' a police press release said.

New York Times Columnist Gail Collins Proposes a 'Simple Battle' To 'Get Rid of the Guns'​

It's not clear which guns she is talking about, and even Collins does not seem to know.​


Given how Collins has defined the guns she wants to eliminate, her ban would apply to a host of firearms "in common use" for "lawful purposes," which the Supreme Court has said are covered by the Second Amendment. The forbidden firearms would include most handguns, which the Court described as "the quintessential self-defense weapon."
