A third person was arrested and faces a murder charge in connection to a deadly shooting in late May.
As was previously reported, Amarillo police responded about 12:45 a.m. May 25 to reports of a shooting at 3906 S. Tyler.
Jeremy Ray, who was found at the scene with a gunshot wound, succumbed to his injuries days later at the hospital on Friday, May 29.
APD identified two people as suspects and obtained murder warrants for Jaylyn Johnson and Meghan Kern, and they were arrested.
The investigation continued, and APD said Sunday, June 21 that detectives from the homicide unit identified a third suspect in the incident as Jontrell Graves, 18.
Graves, who was arrested on unrelated charges, was brought to the Amarillo Police Department.
APD said from information obtained by detectives, a firearm was located that investigators believe was linked to the killing.
Based on information obtained in the investigation and the recovered firearm, the Randall County District Attorney’s Office issued a murder warrant for Graves.
Graves was booked in the Randall County Detention Center.
