Police say 20-year-old Miguel A. Velazquez of Cave City was arrested and charged with three counts of murder and tampering with physical evidence.

Eighteen-year-old Marcos Bautista is charged with complicity to murder, tampering with physical evidence and possession of marijuana.

Neither man had an attorney listed in court records.
