LAKEWOOD, Wash. - Police have arrested a third suspect sought in the murder of a Lakewood man. Police say the 19-year-old man turned himself in on Wednesday.

A 37-year-old man and an 18-year-old man were previously arrested.

Javon Holden, 20, was shot to death in an apparent robbery at his apartment in Lakewood on Tuesday.

Officers were dispatched about 2 a.m. after being told there had been a shooting. Sgt. Mike Zaro said they found Holden dead of a gunshot wound to the head. His girlfriend and an acquaintance escaped injury.

They told police three men who were known to the resident knocked at the back door, and gunfire erupted after they tried to rob Holden and he resisted.
