A security guard was arrested in connection with the deadly shooting of a burglary suspect at a cannabis warehouse earlier this month, police said on Wednesday. 

The shooting took place in the early-morning hours along Thys Court, off Florin Perkins Road, on May 8. Officers said they found a burglary suspect with at least one gunshot wound. He died at the scene.

The Sacramento County coroner identified the man killed as 22-year-old Kato Mills of Oakland. 

An investigation determined another burglary suspect showed up at the hospital with a gunshot wound, police said. He was reported to be stable. 

The security guard, later identified as 55-year-old Joseph Mills of Sacramento, remained at the scene and was detained.

Police said they arrested Joseph Mills on a warrant on Tuesday. He was arrested for voluntary manslaughter and on weapons-related charges, police said. 

Sacramento police said Joseph Mills and Kato Mills are not related.
