Portland police say three suspects are in custody in connection with a fatal shooting in April.

Police say Derald Coffin was shot and killed on Woodford St. around 1 a.m. on April 26th. He was inside of a vehicle when a group allegedly approached Coffin and shot him and another occupant.

The other victim suffered non-life threatening injuries.

As part of the investigation, warrants were issued Wednesday for 22-year-old Damion Butterfield of Saco, 44-year-old Thomas MacDonald of Westbrook and 45-year-old Anthony Osborne of Portland.

Butterfield has been in custody since April 26 on unrelated charges. He remains at York County Jail.

MacDonald and Osborne were taken to the Cumberland County Jail and are being held on $500,000 cash bail.

The investigation is still ongoing.
