A man acquitted of aggravated assault in a drive-by shooting outside a Union Plaza nightclub has been arrested on additional charges in connection with the same shooting in 2009.

Jonmarlowe Sterling Smith, 28, was arrested Sept. 7 on a warrant after a state grand jury earlier this year indicted him on new charges of attempt to commit capital murder of multiple persons and two counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.

The drive-by shooting took place while people were outside the Studio 69 nightclub on March 28, 2009.

Navy sailor David Mazock, who police described as an innocent bystander, was shot and wounded while pushing a woman to safety outside the club as gunshots were fired from a passing vehicle.

Last year in 171st District Court, a jury found Smith not guilty of aggravated assault in the shooting of Mazock.

In February, a state grand jury indicted Smith on the new charges in connection to other alleged victims of the shooting.

According to the new indictment, Smith is accused of firing toward club security guards Brandon Lee and Louis Herman, who were at the scene when the shots were fired. Smith knew the men were security officers, documents state. The guards were not hit.

El Paso County Jail records show Smith was jailed and his bond set at $200,000.
