This is the second arrest made in connection to Banyard's death. Police previously arrested, Terrance Young, 18, in early July after he surrendered himself to police, a Tweet by Jackson Police Department officials stated.
Young was charged with murder and drive-by shooting. Hinds County Circuit Court documents from August indicate he was denied bail while awaiting a grand jury hearing.
In June, Jackson officers were called to investigate a shooting at 3155 Terry Road sometime after 11 p.m. after Banyard was shot by her boyfriend's brother. Police said Kaylin Banyard was shot after a fight with her ex-boyfriend about her phone.
