One of the suspects in the Sacramento weekend mass shooting was released early from prison just weeks before the incident.

Smiley Martin, 27, was arrested Tuesday in connection to the incident that left six dead and a dozen more injured in downtown Sacramento. He was charged with possession of a firearm by a prohibited person and possession of a machine gun.

Dana Simas, a spokeswoman for the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR), told the Sacramento Bee that Martin, who was sentenced to 10 years in prison in 2018, โ€œhad already received 508 days of pre-sentencing credits, and received a variety of additional post-sentencing creditsโ€ and โ€œwas released to Sacramento County probation in February 2022

In 2018, he was sentenced to 10 years in prison for domestic violence and assault with great bodily injury. Prosecutors said Martin entered his girlfriendโ€™s home, punched her, whipped her with a belt, and dragged her from the home by her hair in that incident. The Bee reported that records show that he has a criminal history dating back to 2013.

The Parole Board in 2021 rejected Martinโ€™s bid for an early release in May because he poses โ€œa significant, unreasonable risk of safety to the community.โ€

District attorneys last year vehemently opposed Martinโ€™s release from the sentence.

โ€œInmate Martinโ€™s criminal conduct is violent and lengthy,โ€ Deputy District Attorney Danielle Abildgaard wrote to the Board of Parole Hearings in a letter dated April 29, 2021, according to the paper.

The Sacramento Police Department said that Martin was injured during Sundayโ€™s shooting and will be booked when his condition improves enough.

His brother, 26-year-old Dandrae Martin, was arrested Monday in connection to the shooting and was charged with assault with a deadly weapon and carrying a loaded gun as a convict. Daviyonne Dawson, 31, was also arrested on suspicion of carrying a firearm as a prohibited person, officials said.
