FAYETTEVILLE -- Police arrested two men in connection with the April 29 shooting of Greg Lovejoy at a house on Daisy Lane.
John Kelsey, 33, of 408 Cleveland St. in Springdale was arrested Wednesday in connection with first-degree murder, according to the Fayetteville Police Department. He was being held Thursday in the Washington County jail on $250,000 bond.
Juan Macias-Torres, 25, of 4081 N. Johnell Drive in Fayetteville was arrested Tuesday in connection with tampering with physical evidence and possession of a controlled substance. Macias-Torres was being held Thursday in the Washington County jail on $75,000 bond.
Officers were called to a reported shooting at 702 Daisy Lane about 6:35 a.m. April 29. The officers found Lovejoy shot in the neck and lying in the driveway of the house.
Lovejoy died at a local hospital. His body was sent to the state Crime Lab to determine the cause of death, police said.
Kelsey was arrested on a warrant issued in connection with Lovejoy's death. Prosecutor Matt Durrett said the warrant was sealed under court order "to preserve the integrity of the investigation," but will eventually be made public.
Witnesses told police people in a silver car were possibly involved in the killing, according to police. They told police Lovejoy fought with a man the day before the shooting who was in the car at the time of the shooting and identified the man as Macias-Torres.
Macias-Torres was present when the shooting happened and was given the gun by the person who fired the shots, according to a police report.
Police stopped Macias-Torres on Tuesday while he was walking near Crossover Road and Sterling Court, according to the report. He was arrested for possession of a controlled substance after police found a plastic bag with about 4.5 grams of a crystal substance that field tested positive for methamphetamine.
Macias-Torres told police he was at the shooting but didn't fire the shots, according to the report. Macias-Torres told the officers he threw the gun out of the car near Wedington Drive and Rupple Road as they fled the shooting.
