From Kim Minugh:
Sacramento County sheriff's deputies have arrested a 25-year-old man for allegedly killing his wife this weekend, according to authorities.
Deputies arrested Marquis Landers near Tracy after apparently fleeing the Sacramento area following the death of his wife, Katricia Banks, Saturday moring, said sheriff's Capt. Scott Jones. Landers, whose aliases include "Lil-Moe" and "Smiley," was booked into the Sacramento County Main Jail on one count of murder early this morning, jail booking records show.
Just after midnight Saturday morning, deputies were at the UC Davis Medical Center investigating an unrelated incident when Banks, 25, arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound. She later died. Landers arrived at the hospital with her and did not cooperate with investigators, Jones said.
After further investigation, a warrant was issued for Landers' arrest. The homicide appears to be domestic violence-related, Jones said.
Also arrested was 24-year-old Demario Chappell, who allegedly aided and abetted Landers as he fled the area, Jones said. Chappell also allegedly disposed of evidence of the crime, Jones said.
