Edmond Police have made three more arrests in connection with the May 3 mass shooting at Lake Arcadia which injured 22 and killed one 18-year-old girl.
This makes nine total arrests in connection to the mass shooting, according to a Wednesday press release.
Makhi Magness, 19, was charged with shooting with intent to kill, gang-related offenses, and the possession of a firearm during a violent felony incident. Hezekiah Ricks, 20, and Omarion Gabriel, 20, were both charged with accessory to first-degree murder.
The shooting took place at Scissortail Campgrounds in Edmond, where roughly 100 teens and young adults gathered for a party. Police believe multiple weapons were used and at least 80 rounds were fired.
