A third man has been charged in the fatal shooting of 17-year-old D.C. high school graduate Jamahri Sydnor.
James Mayfield was arrested Wednesday and charged with first-degree murder while armed, the Metropolitan Police Department announced. The 18-year-old was publicly identified as a suspect last month.
Sydnor was struck by a stray bullet as she drove along the 1400 block of Saratoga Ave. NE, less than a mile from her home, on Aug. 10. She died two days later.
The recent graduate of Woodrow Wilson High School in Northwest D.C. was due to start college at Florida A&M University within days. She was captain of her high school's cheerleading squad and sang in the choir.
"She was the embodiment of what we want a Wilson grad to be," Principal Kimberly Martin previously told News4.
Phillip Carlos McDaniel, 21, of Northeast D.C., was arrested in August and initially charged with assault with intent to kill.
Robert Moses, 18, of Northeast D.C., was arrested in October and charged with first-degree murder.
Prosecutors previously said Moses fired nine shots in broad daylight at someone across the street on which Sydnor was driving.
Witnesses testified that Moses was among a group engaged in gunplay earlier on the day of the shooting.
At a press conference in October, Newsham characterized the shooting as a "senseless neighborhood dispute."
