A second suspect in the fatal carjacking of a Middlesex County man from an Atlantic City casino parking garage has surrendered to police.

The Atlantic County Prosecutor's office says 20-year-old Eric Darden of Camden turned himself in on Thursday.

Another suspect, 20-year-old Phillip Byrd of Camden, was arrested at his home Tuesday evening.

A third suspect, Raheem Simmons of Camden, is still being sought.

They are charged with murder, carjacking and other offenses in Sunday's fatal shooting of 28-year-old Sunil Rattu of Old Bridge. His companion, 24-year-old Radha Ghetia of Sayreville, also was shot but is recovering from her wounds.
