Two high school student athletes have been arrested in connection to the murder of a man last month, cops say.
Alpharetta police say 17-year-old Cameron Walker and 18-year-old Jonathan Murray were arrested Nov. 17 in connection to the robbery and murder of Connor Mediate, 24, WSB-TV reported.
Mediate was shot and killed at the Collingwood Apartment Homes on Kimball Bridge Road in Alpharetta, Georgia on Oct. 14, according to WSB-TV.
Mediate was shot several times in the apartment community’s parking lot, WSB-TV reported.
Investigators say an intense, month-long investigation into the murder led to Walker and Murray being identified as suspects, according to WSB-TV.
The two play varsity basketball at Milton High School, according to the team roster obtained by WSB-TV.
Both Walker and Murray are being held in the Fulton County Jail on charges of attempted armed robbery and murder, WSB-TV reported. Police have not revealed a motive in the slaying or how they connected the suspects to the case.
A judge denied bond for the duo, according to WSB-TV.
