Two people have been arrested in connection with an April fatal shooting in Gautier.
Maurice Shannon was killed April 3 after a shooting at the Pure gas station on Ladnier Road.
According to police, Thomas Guy Rogers, the suspected shooter, was arrested Friday at a residence in Mobile.
On May 5, detectives arrested Iesha Finley, 21, of Gautier at a residence in Brookhaven on a charge of accessory after the fact.
