DANVILLE — A second person has been arrested in connection with shooting two years ago at a barbershop on East Main Street that left two dead and one injured.
Danville police said they arrested Mario J. Scaife, 18, of Danville at 7:13 a.m. Friday on charges of first-degree murder and aggravated battery with a firearm.
Also facing the same charges after his arrest in October is Keshawn J. Cotton, 21. He has pleaded not guilty and pretrial proceedings are set for next week.
When Cotton was arrested, a separate warrant had been issued for a 17-year-old also suspected in the incident, police said at that time.
