DURHAM, N.C. — A third person wanted in connection with a weekend shooting at a Durham flea market was arrested Thursday morning, police said.

Two people were injured in the Sunday afternoon shooting at Durham Green Flea Market, on Pettigrew Street. A 19-year-old man was still in a local hospital Wednesday with eight gunshot wounds, while a 31-year-old man was treated for a gunshot wound to the leg and released.

Two others charged in the case, Alexander Cardona, 17, of West Trinity Avenue, and Sergio Adrian Barboza, 17, of Sudbury Drive, were arrested Wednesday following a standoff on Sudbury Drive, police said.
