HOLYOKE — A second suspect in a daytime shooting in which a pregnant woman on a passing bus was hit, causing the death of her infant, was ordered held without bail at his arraignment Friday.
Johnluis Sanchez, 30, of Holyoke, was arraigned by Zoom in Holyoke District Court for his suspected involvement in Wednesday’s shooting, the Hampden district attorney’s office reported.
