James City County Police have found and arrested a 19-year-old man accused of murdering a 20-year-old at the Burnt Ordinary Apartments in Toano.
Police arrested James City County resident Malcolm Shemar Lee Monday afternoon in connection with the Oct. 23 shooting death of Adren L. Garnett, according to James City County Police spokeswoman Stephanie Williams.
Police believe Lee is one of three men involved in the shooting death of Garnett. The other two men, Marques Raquan Stephens-Graves, 21, of James City County, and Jordan Allen Davis, 24, of Newport News, were arrested Friday.
Deputy Chief Steve Rubino said there is “probable cause” to believe both Lee and Stephens-Graves, are active gang members.
Lee is charged with second-degree murder, malicious wounding, use of a firearm while committing murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and active participation in a criminal street gang, according to police.
Stephens-Graves is charged with second-degree murder, malicious wounding, use of a firearm while committing murder, possession of a firearm by a convicted felon and active participation in a criminal street gang, police said.
The third man, Davis, is charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.
On Oct. 23, James City County Police found two men, an 18-year-old and Garnett, suffering from gunshot wounds after responding to gunfire at the Burnt Ordinary Apartments in Toano.
Police believe both victims were involved in a dispute with other people when shots were fired.
Garnett was taken to Sentara Williamsburg Regional Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead, but the 18-year-old man survived after being flown to Riverside Regional Medical Center, police said.
Davis and Stephens-Graves are both being held at the Virginia Peninsula Regional Jail without bond.
