A fifth person has been arrested in connection with the murder of a Rocky Mount teenager last month.

Juan Simmons, of Rocky Mount, was arrested in Phoenix, Arizona. The 33-year-old woman is charged with accessory after the fact for murder and accessory after the fact for arson.

Two suspects in the September 4th death of Chavalis Boyd were found last weekend in Phoenix as well.

Boyd's body was found in a burned out home on Silver Leaf Road. The 17-year-old had been shot.

Police say Simmons is jailed in Arizona, awaiting her return to North Carolina to race charges.

Already three men have been charged with the actual murder of Boyd, while another woman was also charged with being an accessory.
