A surveillance camera captured video of possible suspects leaving the scene of the murder in a white SUV.

Police arrested 20-year-old Javier Fernando Hernandez on Tuesday, months after detectives started following several leads in the case. He was charged with murder, attempted aggravated murder, attempted murder and 2 counts of unlawful use of a weapon, police said.

Days earlier, 46-year-old Cynthia Anne Scholer was arrested on 6 charges of hindering prosecution and tampering with physical evidence.

She was released on bail and will be arraigned Thursday.
