A second suspect has been charged in a 2022 Montgomery shooting that left a 3-year-old boy dead.
Montgomery police on Monday announced the arrest of 27-year-old Kourtney Tyrone Brisker.
Brisker, taken into custody May 1, is charged with three counts of capital murder in the killing of Ja’Seyon Green.

He is charged with capital murder of a child under the age of 14, capital murder for shooting from a vehicle and capital murder for shooting into a vehicle.
The deadly shooting happened about 3 p.m. on Feb. 11, 2022, in the 400 block of North Decatur Street.
Ja’Seyon was in the backseat of a Hyundai Tucson that was being followed by the suspects who were in a Yukon. Court documents state Brisker fired an AR-15 rifle into the Hyundai, hitting Ja’Seyon, who died a short time later at the hospital.

The first suspect, 26-year-old Jerome William Pettiway, was arrested a month after Ja’Seyon’s slaying. His trial is set for August.
Ja’Seyon’s mother, Kemyasha Green, in 2022 called it the “worst day of my life.”
“We want justice for my baby boy,’’ Green wrote in a GoFundMe that raised more than $10,000.
