Nearly three months after a young woman died after being gunned down near a house party in La Jolla, San Diego police have arrested a second suspect in the case.
Malik Campbell, 20, was taken into custody on Sept. 11 and charged with first-degree murder in the shooting of Nina Silver, 20. The San Diego Police Department confirmed Campbell's arrest Friday; he's the second suspect in this case.
Silver died after a car opened fire on her and three others as they stood in an alley off Cuvier Street near Pearl Street on June 23. The gunfire was reported at 12:40 a.m. as a car passed the group.
SDPD Lt. Matt Dobbs said Campbell is being charged in the death of Silver, as well as the assault of the three others in the drive-by shooting.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges and is currently being held at San Diego Central Jail. Campbell's court date is set for Oct. 8.
Campbell's arrest comes after police arrested and charged the first suspect in this case, Odyssey Sellers Carrillo, 18, in July.
Carillo was charged with six felonies, including murder, three counts of assault with a semi-automatic firearm, unlawful possession of a firearm, and evading an officer with reckless driving. According to court documents, Carrillo was convicted of robbery as a 15-year-old.
