JACKSON HEIGHTS — Police have arrested a second suspect in the Roosevelt Avenue shooting that left one man dead during an apparent gang attack in May.

Isaac Martinez, 34, who police say is homeless, was identified in surveillance video from the May 5 shooting, and was arrested Wednesday and charged with murder and criminal possession of a weapon, according to the NYPD.

Officers from the 115th Precinct caught Martinez trespassing in a residential building on Roosevelt Avenue on Wednesday, realized there was a warrant out for his arrest and brought him in for questioning, police said.

On May 18, police had charged Raul Zamora, 35, of Corona, with murder and gang assault after he turned himself in with his lawyer, police said. 

Police say Martinez and Zamora shot and killed Jorge Manzanarez, 38, of Corona, in front of 93-12 Roosevelt Ave., near Whitney Avenue, about 2:23 p.m. on May 5, sparking a manhunt.
