KNIGHTDALE, N.C. (WTVD) -- The Wake County Sheriff's Office has made a second arrest in last week's shooting that injured a man in a parking lot.

Wake County deputies identified Ethan Jeremiah Mitchell, 25, as the second suspect in a shooting that happened Friday in the parking lot of Car Cosmetology at 5800 Knightdale Blvd. Mitchell was taken into custody without incident Wednesday.

Deputies arrested Tyrin Daquan Stubbs during the weekend in the shooting of 58-year-old Scott Glenn Wright.

Mitchell has been identified as the shooter.

Investigators were looking for two suspects after Wright told deputies he was shot after an altercation while sitting in his truck.

On Friday, deputies responded shortly before 5 a.m. to a possible shooting and attempted carjacking in the parking lot of Car Cosmetology.

Wright told law officers that he picked up two men who asked for a ride to an unknown location.

Shortly after Wright picked up the men, he pulled into the parking lot and asked them to get out. Deputies said a struggle ensued and Wright was shot. The two men fled the scene.

Wright was taken to a hospital for treatment.

Mitchell is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Stubbs was charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, robbery with a dangerous weapon, conspiracy to commit assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill and conspiracy to commit robbery with a dangerous weapon.

Mitchell is being held in the Wake County Detention Center, on a $350,000 bond. Stubbs is being held at Wake County Detention Center with no bond.
