A 19-year-old man accused of the Davis Picnic Day shooting appeared in court on May 28 and had his bail kept at $45,000 with added conditions—he must allow personal and electronic searches for firearms and avoid known gang members—while facing charges for possessing a firearm, an assault weapon, and two extra gun-related felonies, with a follow-up hearing set for June 23.
