A second person has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of 21-month-old De’Avry Thomas. According to the Pittsburgh Public Safety Department, Markez Anger, 23, was taken into custody early on Sunday.
Police had been looking for Anger since last Monday, when they obtained a warrant for his arrest. He’s charged with criminal homicide, conspiracy, and firearms-related violations.
Thomas was killed Sunday, May 29, during an apparent drive-by shooting in downtown Pittsburgh, according to law enforcement. Another man, 26-year-old Londell Falconer, was arrested the next day. The mother of the toddler was present when the shooting took place, but officers are still investigating the circumstances around the incident.
Anger was arrested in Turtle Creek, about 12 miles southeast of Pittsburgh.
