D.C. police arrested a second man Thursday on second-degree murder charges in the killing of 24-year-old American University graduate who was caught in the crossfire of a shooting outside the Shaw Metro station in August, officials said.

Officials said they arrested Andre Dudley, 19, of Northeast on a charge of second-degree murder while armed in the fatal shooting of Matthew Shlonsky on Aug. 15.

On that day, Shlonsky had just gotten out of a taxi and started walking in the 1700 block of 7th Street, in the Shaw area, when gunfire erupted between a man on the street and a group of men in a burgundy Chrysler.

In the days after the shooting, police arrested 19-year-old Marcus King, who has been held on second-degree murder charges. In court documents, police said that King fired two handguns at the vehicle after someone in the vehicle shot at him.

Police released no details about Dudley’s involvement.
