CAMBRIDGE, Md. - Cambridge police say they have arrested a second person in connection with the deadly shooting of a Seaford man in June on Camelia Street.

Investigators previously identified 15-year-old Jakai Wilson, also of Cambridge, as a primary accused shooter. On June 10, Wilson was arrested during a traffic stop on Feather Drive and charged as an adult with first-degree murder and other related counts.
