A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the shooting death of a teenager on June 9.

On Tuesday, police arrested Demonte Harris, 19, on probable cause of capital murder and he will be held without bond on the allegation.

During the court hearing, Deputy Prosecutor Beth Carson said police were sent to a reported shooting at N. Hazel and Havis Streets and found a 17-year-old male with a gunshot wound to the head.

When Harris was questioned, he said he was accompanied by a black male he knew only as Cano.

Two other suspects, Otis Tyler and Kiarra White, both juveniles, are being held on the same allegations.

Harris was told to come back to court on July 20.
