THE VICTIMS of a deadly mass shooting at a Sonic Drive-In in Nebraska have been named after it was revealed that the suspect was arrested days earlier.
Roberto Carlos Silva, 23, was arrested for identity theft he allegedly ordered $57 worth of hamburgers and corn dogs using another person’s Sonic app in four separate orders, cops said in a press conference.
Silva — who has a concealed carry gun permit — was reportedly in possession of three guns at the time, which were tagged into evidence, cops said in a news release.
He was released from jail on Thursday after posting just ten percent of his $1,500 bail.
But Silva returned to the Sonic just days later and opened fire in a bloody attack on the Bellevue restaurant on Saturday night.
Nathan Pastrana, 22, and 28-year-old Ryan Helbert were both found dead inside the restaurant, cops said.
Kenneth Gerner, 25, and Zoey Reece Atalig Lujan, 18, were taken to the University of Nebraska Medical Center and listed under critical condition.
Officials did not provide an update on their condition, but said a fifth victim only sustained minor injuries and was not taken to the hospital.
All of the shooting victims are employees of the Sonic and eight people were scheduled to be working Saturday, but cops did not reveal if any of the employees were also working on Wednesday.
Four more guns were found at the scene on Saturday, though cops did not disclose what types of firearms were found.
The alleged shooter was nabbed when a bomb squad and a SWAT team rushed to the eatery as flames destroyed a U-Haul rental reportedly packed with fireworks.
Officials said cops were initially alerted to a possible bomb inside of the truck — but that no bomb was found and cops are still investigating its connection to the shooting.
The U-Haul was reported at 9:23 p.m. as having wires and pipes sticking out of it before witnesses then called 911 to report that a male suspect wearing a helmet opened fire around 9:24 p.m.
After emergency services rushed to the scene, officers took the suspected shooter into custody “without incident.”
“He totally complied and was unarmed,” an official said during the press conference.
Officials also played a video of the arrest, which showed Silva unarmed with his hands in the air and obeying police orders.
A witness told WOWT news in Nebraska he heard multiple “popping” sounds.
“It wasn’t real loud – it was like pop, pop, pop,” he said.
Silva was being held without bond on Sunday before making his initial court appearance, the Associated Press reported.
