Sacramento sheriff: 5th suspect arrested in May 8 slaying

A fifth suspect has been arrested in connection with the May 8 slaying of 29-year-old

Marcel Hatch at the Eco Lodge at 2912 Auburn Blvd.

Las Vegas police arrested Brandy Lee Mays (photo left), 30, on Friday on an active

warrant, according to the Sacramento County Sheriff's Department.

Brandy's brothers - Demetrius, Lorenzo and Kenyatta Mays - were arrested in Sacramento

on Thursday in connection with the homicide.

Another man, Charles Antonio Williams, was arrested May 11 in the slaying.

The arrests stem from fight between Hatch and Williams, a 25-year-old Rocklin resident, at

the motel on May 7, according to the Sheriff's Department.

Williams allegedly returned to the motel shortly before 8:40 p.m. the next day in a black

sports utility vehicle with several passengers and shot Hatch in the stomach. Detectives

said they believe the companions were the four members of the Mays family arrested this

week.

Deputies responded to the scene and transported Hatch to the hospital where he eventually

died on May 10.

Sheriff's deputies arrested Williams on May 11. He is still in custody at the county's main

jail along with the three Mays brothers. All four face murder charges.

Brandy Mays is being held at Clark County Jail. The Sheriff's Department is working with

Las Vegas authorities to get her returned to Sacramento where she will be booked on

suspicion of murder, according to a sheriff's department spokesman.
