A 22-year-old man was arrested Wednesday in connection with the May 2006 slaying of Kevin Wilson.
Freddie Rimpson III was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on one charge of murder and two charges of attempted robbery. He is the second man to face a murder charge for Wilson's killing: In November, Jayshawn Visa Pierce was convicted of fatally shooting Wilson, 41, and sentenced to life imprisonment without possibility of parole.
Deputy District Attorney Chris Ore, who prosecuted that case, said Pierce pulled the trigger, but Rimpson, who was a passenger in Pierce's car that night, handed him the sawed off shotgun used to kill Wilson.
In Pierce's trial, Ore alleged that Wilson, a county water quality control employee, was the victim of a botched robbery. Pierce had been trying to score bail money for a friend who had been arrested in San Bernardino, Ore argued.
Rimpson is scheduled to be arraigned Friday.
