Officers responded about 2:30 p.m. Thursday to the Bill Harmon Recreation Center at 51 Shelby Road. They found an unresponsive person -- later identified as Bryan Allen Thompson, 17, of Sherwood -- in a vehicle in the parking lot, police spokesman Sgt. Jason Hopkins said.

The names of the three teens -- two 14-year-olds and one 17-year-old -- were not released as of late Friday. They are being charged as adults with capital murder and aggravated robbery.

The teens were being held Friday at the Pulaski County jail. Hopkins said the Police Department would not be releasing any more information until after they are arraigned.
