Jerrico Dewon Lindsey, 26, was also charged with three other felony offenses but the charges against him were dropped a few weeks later, law enforcement officials in Alabama said today.
The shooting deaths in Alabama seven years ago involved the use of an AK-47 semi-automatic, assault-type rifle and a 9 mm handgun.
According to witness accounts, a semi- or possibly fully-automatic machine pistol appears to have been used in the slaying here.
A second suspect, William Lee Freeman, 36, was also arrested with Lindsey on suspicion of second-degree murder in connection with the shooting here.
Witnesses to the Monday night shooting in Kane'ohe reported hearing dozens of shots in rapid succession as the victim was shot repeatedly. Police identified the slain man as Fernando Correa-Lua, 30.
