Police are looking for a third suspect but do not believe the public is at risk, Chief Mark Pratt said Thursday.
Two men will face murder charges after a pregnant woman hit by gunfire on a bus in Holyoke, Massachusetts, delivered a baby that later died, authorities said Thursday.
Alejandro Ramos, 22, of Holyoke, was arraigned in Holyoke District Court on Thursday for his alleged involvement in Wednesday’s shooting, investigators said. He will be charged with murder, and other charges are expected to follow.
An official at the Hampden District Attorney’s Office said it was unclear if Ramos had been appointed an attorney yet.
Court officials said information about the arraignment was impounded. A spokesman from the DA’s office said a “not guilty” plea would have been automatically entered for Ramos.
A second suspect — Johnluis Sanchez, 30, of Holyoke — remains hospitalized. Sanchez will be formally arraigned on a charge of murder when his condition allows, with additional charges also expected to follow.
A man who answered the phone at a number associated with a possible relative of Sanchez told the Associated Press on Thursday: “All that is misinformation. I’ll have my attorney reach out to you.”

Police responded to the shooting Wednesday at 12:38 p.m. and said it appeared three male suspects were involved in an altercation before gunshots were fired.
