A third suspect has been arrested in connection to a deadly nightclub shooting that left one person dead and four injured, according to Hinds County Sheriff Tyree Jones.
Jones said via a Tuesday social media post that Anthony Brown, 48, was charged with murder and three counts of aggravated assault for his alleged role in a Sunday midnight shooting at the Sugar Shack Club in Utica.
According to Jones, Brown was taken into custody Monday evening after being released from the hospital for treatment. Brown sustained "several gunshot wounds" during the incident.
On Monday, Jones identified two other suspects as 34-year-old Eric Dixon and 42-year-old Joseph Crum, who face the same charges as Brown.
"This brings to total arrests made to three at this point," Jones wrote. "The investigation is ongoing, and more charges and/or arrests are possible."
