SPRINGDALE -- Police arrested a third man in connection with a shooting death in Springdale, according to a preliminary police report released Monday.
Billson Andrike, 19, of 2581 Appleglen St. in Springdale was arrested Friday night in connection with hindering apprehension, tampering with evidence and residential burglary. He was released Sunday from the Washington County Detention Center on a $15,000 bond.
Police found Xavier Williams, 24, shot to death Thursday inside his apartment at 276 Strawberry Meadows Place, Apt. 209, in Springdale. He had been shot multiple times with a 9mm handgun, according to the report.
Police think Williams was shot Wednesday. A family member of Williams called police Thursday, said Lt. Jeff Taylor, police spokesman. Williams' body was sent to the state crime lab and will determine time of death.
Detectives arrested Anferney Amram, 18, and Albert Davis, 19, on Friday in connection with Williams' death, police said.
Amram was arrested in connection with capital murder, tampering with evidence, residential burglary, discharging a firearm in the city limits and contributing to the delinquency of a minor. Davis was arrested in connection with residential burglary, tampering with evidence and hindering apprehension. Police said Andrike went into the apartment with the other two men, according to the report.
Davis told police he and Andrike went into the apartment and picked up the bullet casings and Williams' cell phone and threw them away somewhere in Springdale, according to the preliminary report. Andrike said he did not take anything from the apartment, the report shows.
Amram took the gun, pulled it apart and threw it out of a moving vehicle in Bentonville, according to the report. An unnamed youth was with Amram at the time, police said. Taylor said in email that police have not yet interviewed the boy.
Police do not name people under the age of 18 unless the person has been charged as an adult.
The investigation is ongoing, but Taylor said the incident does not appear to be gang related.
Amram was at the Washington County Detention Center with no bond Monday. Davis was released Saturday from the detention center with a $15,000 bond. Both have court hearings set for Sept. 25.
