FAYETTEVILLE -- Tyrice Bradley, 28, of 415 Murray St. in Forrest City was arrested Monday in connection with accomplice to aggravated robbery, aggravated assault and battery.
Bradley is the latest man arrested in connection with a shooting the night of Nov. 9 on the west side of town.
Three people sent photographs of large sums of money to Myriah Harjo in order to get her to spend time with them, according to a police report. Harjo told them to come to 1360 N. Chickadee Ave. The three told police they went to the residence but didn't go inside because they felt she was "setting them up."
Paris Barton, 27, also of Forrest City, walked up to them and then walked away.
Harjo approached them and a couple minutes later, three men in masks ran toward them and one started shooting a semiautomatic handgun, according to an affidavit for an arrest warrant.
One of the three people being fired at, Christopher Bess, was shot in the leg. Bess, who is Harjo's cousin, suffered non-life-threatening injuries, according to the affidavit.
Bess identified Barton, who was arrested the next day, as the man who approached them and also as one of the masked men by his clothing, height and weight, according to the affidavit.
The police investigation led them to believe Bradley was one of the people involved in the robbery. He told police he was in Forrest City, but mobile phone information showed he was in the area of the shooting when it occurred, according to the affidavit.
Bradley was being held Tuesday at the Washington County Detention Center on $250,000.
