Frank Rodriguez, a recovering drug addict who lived in Kensington, said the tranq epidemic in the Philadelphia neighborhood has gotten worse over the past few months.

A second man wanted in the death of a Philadelphia sanitation worker who was gunned down while on duty last year was captured Tuesday by U.S. Marshals.

Nushar J. Scott, 40, and Rasheem Trusty, 30, who was apprehended Tuesday, are accused of killing the 35-year-old worker, Ikeem Johnson, in November, when he was fatally shot.

Johnson was shot multiple times and was pronounced dead at the scene. He had been employed as a sanitation worker for five years. 

Trusty was taken into custody in the 6900 block of Frankford Avenue, the U.S. Marshals Service said. Scott was arrested in January.

At the time of the killing, Philadelphia Police Commissioner Danielle Outlaw said the shooting was not a random attack.
