Arrests made in Auburn Mall parking lot shooting

Over the weekend, police arrested the two men identified as involved in the March 9th shooting in the Auburn Mall parking lot, according to a release from the Auburn Police Division.

On Friday, Michael Ryan Trimble was arrested upon his release from the Columbus Piedmont Midtown Medical Center and charged with first-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

Deion S. Brooks was arrested on Monday upon his release from the hospital and was also charged with first-degree assault and reckless endangerment.

Trimble and Brooks were arrested by the Muscogee County Sheriff's Department and were extradited to Auburn by the APD.

Both suspects are being held on a $51,000 bond in the Lee County Jail. Trimble is also being held for a violation of probation relating to a prior felony conviction.

Police said their investigation shows the men met in the parking lot for conflicting and unlawful reasons, by the men's own accounts, which resulted in a firefight. The case remains under investigation.
