ATLANTA, GA — A third suspect in a deadly armed robbery is now in police custody.
Because she is a minor, the name of the 16-year-old is being withheld by Atlanta police.
They say it’s in connection with the January 25 assault on a 29-year-old man on Gun Club Road in northwest Atlanta. The victim died from multiple gunshot wounds.
The two previous arrests were for 18-year-old Israel Byrd and an unidentified 17-year-old.
All three suspects face charges of murder, armed robbery, aggravated assault, and weapons charges.
The 18-year-old and 17-year-old are being held at the Fulton County Jail.
The 16-year-old female is being held at the metro regional youth detention center.
