A second suspect has been charged in the fatal shooting of 2-year-old Synsyr Lewis in Federal Way. Jerome Lewis, 31, was arrested in California on Wednesday for first-degree murder in connection with the April shooting at an IHOP, which resulted in Synsyr's death, as reported by KING5.

Lewis was arrested in California on Wednesday in connection with a shooting that occurred on April 4. The incident happened at an IHOP on Southwest Campus Drive just before 10 a.m., where Synsyr Lewis was fatally shot in the head. Authorities are investigating the situation, and Lewis is facing charges related to the incident, as described by FOX13 Seattle.

Jack, the first suspect in the murder of Synsyr Lewis, was arrested on October 2 at his home in Federal Way for unlawful possession of a firearm, nine days after the shooting. He is now facing a charge of first-degree murder and is being held at the King County Children and Family Justice Center. While police have not revealed a motive or details about the shooting, the charges suggest that the crime was planned. The investigation is ongoing as authorities work to bring justice for Synsyr, according to KOMO News.
