MOUNT HEALTHY, Ohio — Police arrested a third person and charged them in connection with an April 12 shooting that killed 53-year-old Willie Lindsey.

The Hamilton County Sheriff's Office announced Tuesday that 51-year-old Ernest Lamar has been arrested and charged.

The sheriff's office also announced Thursday that officers had arrested 55-year-old Maurice Lamar, Ernest's brother.

In court on Friday, prosecutors said Maurice Lamar is accused of having hit Lindsey with a blunt object before shooting him in the head; the judge ordered Lamar be held on a $750,000 bond.

Springfield Township police announced they'd also arrested and charged 56-year-old Mark Edwards in connection with Lindsey's death.

That arrest was made Wednesday night, police said. He's being held in the Hamilton County Justice Center on a $100,000 bond.

The shooting happened on April 12 just after 10 a.m. at an apartment complex on Clovernook Avenue. Police found Lindsey with a gunshot wound and he was taken to the University of Cincinnati Medical Center; he was pronounced dead at the hospital, police said.
