A second suspect has been arrested and charged with capital murder in shooting of a man found dead on a Birmingham street late last month, police said Friday.

Tony Howard Jones III, 32, of Birmingham, was taken into custody Thursday by the Birmingham Police Department’s Crime Reduction Team in connection with the fatal shooting March 20 of Devarta Dedre Thomas, said Officer Truman Fitzgerald.

Thomas was found shot and killed in the 300 block of 74th Street North.

Capital murder charges were filed in Thomas’ death because police believe the victim was inside a vehicle when he was fatally shot.

Jones was booked into the Jefferson County Jail on a charge of capital murder. He is being held without bond.

Jones is the second suspect charged in Thomas’ slaying.

On March 24, Birmingham police arrested 25-year-old Jamarian Carpenter.

A motive has not been disclosed.

Thomas in 2016 pleaded guilty to the shooting death of his mother in Hoover.

Initially charged with murder, Thomas pleaded guilty to manslaughter in the shotgun slaying of 40-year-old Tawanda Thomas. Police at the time of her killing said the victim had gone to her son’s apartment to lecture him about ‘doing right.’

“She wanted him to get a job, stop using drugs and stop hanging out with some of the individuals he was hanging out with,’’ former Hoover police Capt. Gregg Rector said in 2016. “Basically, a mom lost her life while trying to convince her son to live a better, more productive life.”
