A 19-year-old sought in the September slaying of a 14-year-old boy in South Dallas was arrested Tuesday on a capital murder charge.

Gregory Ellison is the third suspect jailed in the shooting death of Manuel Edwards. His bail had not been set Tuesday evening, and it was unclear whether he had an attorney.

Dallas police responded to the 2900 block of Al Lipscomb Way about 1:30 p.m. Sept. 25 and found Edwards in a vacant lot with multiple gunshot wounds. He died at a hospital.

Trevion Harris, 22, and Alonzo Simpson, 17, were booked into the Dallas County jail Thursday on charges of capital murder in the case. They also face one count each of evading arrest, and Simpson faces a marijuana possession charge.

They remained in custody Tuesday, with bail at more than $1 million each. Their attorneys did not respond to requests for comment.
