Phillip Victor Williamson, 29, of Los Angeles, died March 25 of that year, after being found in an alley the previous night, suffering from a gunshot wound.
Investigators discovered Williamson was involved in the distribution of marijuana from Chico to medical marijuana collectives in Los Angeles.
Williamson was thought to be carrying about $500,000 in cash and seven pounds of processed marijuana when he was killed. None of the money or pot was recovered.
Marcel Maurice Mackabee, 29, was taken into custody by Long Beach police in Chico last July 31 followed a lengthy investigation.
Mackabee's wife, Rosemary Sayegh, 32, was charged as an accessory on July 29 in the slaying of Williamson, but the case against her was later dismissed without prejudice.
Prosecutors said it could be refiled at a later date.
On Thursday detectives on the Long Beach Police Department's Career Criminal Apprehension Team arrested two more suspects. Kenneth Ray Johnson, 36, and Charles Anthony Mackbee, 42, both of Long Beach, were arrested at approximately 10 a.m. at their homes without incident. Charles
Anthony Mackabee and Marcel Mackabee are cousins.
Today the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office charged both new suspects with one count of murder.
