Investigators say the shooter seen in the video was arrested Tuesday. Marcus Mathis was booked into the Brevard County jail. The other gunman still at large.
It’s another shooting in a city dealing with a spike in crime.
While police say last week’s shoot out had to do with drugs, the chief says rival gangs have been wreaking havoc recently.
“What we’ve seen is a bunch of young males between Cocoa and Titusville feuding,” said Titusville Police Chief John Lau.
Lau says that feud has led to a series of drive-by shootings.

As for the shooting caught on surveillance, officers say they’re still working to charge the other shooter and identify some of the accomplices.
