Lincoln police have arrested a fourth person in the killing of a 22-year-old man who was gunned down in a College View neighborhood last month.
Anthony M. Young III, 18, was arrested on a warrant for being an accessory to second-degree murder in the slaying of Edgar Union Jr.
Officers took Young into custody Thursday in Lincoln. Â
His arrest follows the apprehension of 16-year-old Natavian Morton, whom police accuse of shooting Union.
Morton, who is a Lincoln Northeast High School sophomore, has been charged with second-degree murder and several gun offenses in the case.
Young's alleged role in the crime wasn't immediately clear, and court documents spelling out the evidence against him remained under a court seal.
Edgar Union Jr., a 22-year-old father of five, died March 26 after being shot on the porch of a home in the 3800 block of South 47th Street.

He was among a group of about 20 people, many with gang affiliations, who had gathered on the residential street, just west of Union College, moments earlier, Chief Jeff Bliemeister said.
Police haven't said what they believe motivated the killing, but Union and Morton belonged to long-feuding gangs, Bliemeister said.
The incident came three hours after some of Union's friends were involved in a fight at Lincoln Southeast High School, the chief said.
The killing prompted police to boost their presence at public high schools in the city.
In April, police arrested 17-year-old Americle Fuqua and another 17-year-old, who are also accused of being accessories after the shooting.
In court documents, investigators allege Fuqua drove the shooter and others away from the scene and lied to police about it.
Fuqua and the shooter all belong to the same gang, investigators said in court documents.
Union's killing marked Lincoln's first homicide in 2018.
