Investigators in Wilcox County are scrambling to wrap up a complex investigation involving the deaths of three people and three arrests.
Courtney Anderson, 27, was initially arrested and charged with two counts of capital murder in connection with the shooting deaths of 18-year-old Keyontae McCall and 17-year-old Ka'Lisha Dunson. Their bodies were found with multiple gunshot wounds after a search that spanned several days.
During the search, a third person was shot and killed. Antonio Ausbon, Sr., McCall's cousin, was looking for the victims when he got into an altercation with other family members. The verbal altercation turned physical and Ausbon was shot.
Kentrious Grayson, 23, was arrested and charged with murder in that shooting.
On Tuesday, authorities announced a second arrest in connection with the deaths of the teens. Edwin Hyde, 22, was taken into custody in downtown Pensacola, Fla.
Hyde will be returned to Wilcox County.
Grayson is being held at the Wilcox County Jail without bond. He was out of jail on bond for a previous attempted murder charge. That bond has been revoked.
Anderson is being held in jail with no bond. He was on probation for an attempted murder conviction.
All suspects are considered innocent until proven guilty.
