OILDALE - More than a week after two men were shot to death inside a Bakersfield pot shop, the accused gunman is under arrest.
32-year-old Aaron Patrick Burris was taken into custody Friday evening at an apartment in Oildale.
Friday was a bittersweet day for the family of one of the victims, 23-year-old Devin Daniels. On the same day he was laid to rest, Daniels' wife and mother of his three children got the news that his suspected killer had been caught.
"I was happy because I have been really stressed out with whats going on with this situation. Knowing if you guys were going to catch him, I just feel relief that we can finally get to the bottom of what really happened in this situation," said Marquise Blackmon, Daniels' wife.
Police say Burris did not resist when he was arrested
"There was no need for the SWAT team. He came out on his own will without any resistance," said Sgt. Jason Matson, Bakersfield Police Department.
Marquise Blackmon is making a plea to Burris' suspected accomplice 16-year-old Miracle Jackson.
"I just want to tell her she is young. She has a big life ahead of her. I don't know what she is going through. She needs to come forward and let everybody know what is going on and try to get her life together," said Blackmon.
Miracle Jackson is still at large.
