A third suspect has been arrested in connection with the fatal shooting of a 16-year-old girl in Nashville.

Metro Nashville Police said 23-year-old Tomaz Kerley was indicted on a first-degree murder charge in the death of Deberianah Begley.  

Begley was shot and killed on South 8th Street in the James Cayce public housing development back on October 8.

Police said Kerley is alleged to have been with a group of men when shots were fired toward another group.  

Begley was sitting on a porch and was struck in the neck when she tried to run for cover.

Kerley was held in lieu of $500,000 bond. Two other suspects, 16-year-old Jamarius Hill and 17-year-old Antonio Gordon-Jenkins, have been charged at Juvenile Court with criminal homicide in this case.
