Sacramento shooting suspect Dandrae Martin flaunted guns in music videos and rapped about ‘cutting up’ before six killed

A SUSPECT arrested over a mass shooting allegedly flaunted guns in music videos and rapped about cutting up in one of his songs.

Aspiring music star Dandrae Martin, 26, was arrested in connection with Sunday's shooting in Sacramento, California that saw six people killed.

Meanwhile, at least 12 people were injured as shots were fired.

Martin was arrested on charges of assault with a firearm and being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm, police revealed.

Cops are investigating whether he opened fire first or was responding to the gunfire.

The 26-year-old is an aspiring rapper and he uploaded videos to his account where he's known as Dredamacc, The reports.

In a clip for the track "Speaking on Me", a man is seen holding a semi-automatic gun.

Martin's Soundcloud username is Dremac and the artist says he's from Sacramento and Phoenix.

In the opening lyrics to his song "Cuttin up", he raps: "Slicing through traffic I’m cuttin’ up.”

A man facing the wall while holding a firearm has been chosen as the background image of the video.

It's not clear if Martin is holding the weapons in either music clip.

Martin has not been booked on homicide charges, according to police.

But, it’s not his first brush with the law as court records show he pled guilty to domestic violence in 2014.

The rapper served 30 days in jail and completed community service.

Arizona court records revealed that in 2016 Martin was charged with aggravated assault and domestic violence.

He was sentenced to two-and-a-half years behind bars.

Martin was charged with domestic violence, misdemeanor criminal damage, and a felony marijuana violation in 2018. He was guilty of violating his probation a year later.

LENGTHY RAP SHEET

The victims of the shooting have been identified as Joshua Hoye-Lucchesi, 32, Devazia Turner, 29, Johntaya Alexander, 21, Melinda Davis, 57, Yamile Martinez-Andrade, 21, and dad of two Sergio Harris, 38.

Pamela Harris said her daughter called her just after 2am local time on Sunday to say that her son Sergio had been shot and killed outside a nightclub.

She said: “She said he was dead. I just collapsed.”

Harris told the Today Show Monday: “Hopefully they’ll catch these people and prosecute them to the fullest.

"Because this was senseless. He has two young daughters that love him dearly, and he loved them. They’re not gonna see their father anymore."

Witness Berry Accius told the Associated Press that he saw a girl with a “whole bunch of blood in her body”.

He said that he heard a young girl screaming: “They killed my sister.”

'THEY KILLED MY SISTER'

Another witness Kelsey Schar told the outlet that she heard gunshots as she was in the Citizen Hotel.

Schar said she "saw a guy running and just shooting" when she walked to the window at the hotel.

A video obtained by  showed that a fight broke out involving at least three men just before the gunfire started around 2am.

"We know that a large fight took place just prior to the shooting and we have confirmed that there are multiple shooters," Sacramento Police Chief Kathy Lester said.

Footage also revealed that 76 shots were fired in 54 seconds as crowds fled the scene.

'CAUGHT IN THE CROSSFIRE'

Pop stars and ex-Disney duo Aly & AJ revealed on Sunday that they were "caught in the crossfire" of the shooting while exiting a venue where they had just performed.

The pair sheltered in place on their tour bus until they got the all-clear.

They said: “Distraught by the mass shooting last night outside the venue in Sacramento.

“We have to do something about gun violence in this country."

President Biden said: "America once again mourns for another community devastated by gun violence."

The area where the shooting took place is packed with bars and restaurants and is just a few blocks from Golden 1 Center, home of the Sacramento Kings basketball team.
