DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) — Another man has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a teenager in northeast Des Moines. Station KCCI reports that Marcus Brown was captured in Mishawaka, Indiana, and has been returned to Des Moines. Court records don’t list the name of an attorney who could comment for Brown. Brown, Makaveli Russell and Javell Williams have been charged with murder and robbery in the April 14 shooting of 17-year-old Donzell Martin.

Williams has pleaded not guilty and is scheduled to go on trial July 29. Court records say Russell also has pleaded not guilty, but prosecutors said in a filing Monday that they’d don’t intend to pursue the case against him.
