CINCINNATI -- Police have arrested a second person in the shooting death of 17-year-old Gregory Thompson Jr.

Frank Jones, 18, is facing a charge of murder in Thompson's death. A judge set his bond at $1 million at a hearing Saturday morning.

A 16-year-old is also facing charges related to Thompson's death. WCPO will not publicize that suspect's name because he is a minor.
