DALLAS — Dallas police confirmed Friday they arrested a third person in connection to the shooting death of a former University of Oklahoma football player in May.
Du'Vonta Lampkin, 25, was found facedown with a single gunshot wound at an apartment on South Ervay Street in downtown Dallas.
The third suspect was identified as 31-year-old John Williams, police say, who was arrested with help from the U.S. Marshals Task Force. More information on the arrest wasn't released.
Two other suspects for Lampkin's death were already arrested July 20 and identified as 22-year-old Antwan Franklin and 24-year-old Erick Garcia. According to jail logs, the two have been in jail since early July.
More information about their involvement in Lampkin's death was not released.
Lampkin's friend and the friend's girlfriend told police that they were renting the apartment as an Airbnb for Lampkin while he waited to move into his own apartment. They went to check on him since he wasn't answering his phone, and they found him dead.
Police said his black and white designer backpack, cell phone, and wallet were missing at the scene.
Lampkin used to play defensive tackle for the University of Oklahoma from 2015 through 2018. He declared for the NFL Draft in 2018 and went undrafted but eventually signed with the Tennessee Titans for just over a month before being waived.
He also played high school football in the Houston area at Cypress Falls High School.
