Second arrest made in Sarasota shooting

SARASOTA - Detectives investigating a shooting in Sarasota have tracked down a second suspect.

The Sarasota County Sheriff's Office Fugitive Apprehension Unit arrested 21-year-old Trae Ward Tuesday morning.

U.S. Marshals also took part in the arrest. They say Ward was hiding out at a home in the 7000 block of 44th Court East in Bradenton.

His brother Ryan is also in custody. Both are charged in last Friday's shooting on Euclid Avenue in Sarasota.

Fortunately, Salem was not hurt.
