By Nathan Simone

Two men have been arrested in suspected connection to the Auburn triple homicide.

Desmonte Leonard, 22, is currently evading law enforcement for allegedly shooting three people, including two former Auburn University football players, and wounding another three people during a party at the University Heights apartment complex on the night of June 9.

Jeremy Thomas, 18, of Montgomery was arrested on a warrant charging him with Hindering Prosecution 1st Degree.

Jeremy allegedly fled the scene with Leonard.

Public records indicate that Jeremy was out of jail on a $75,000 bond for a previous manslaughter charge against a 14-year-old girl in Montgomery.

Jeremy is set to appear before a court June 18 for this previous charge.

No bond has been set for Jeremy and his current charge.

Gabriel Thomas, 41, of Montgomery was arrested for providing false information to police and hindering prosecution.

The bond for Gabriel has been set at $15,000.

Police have not indicated any sort of relationship between Gabriel and Jeremy at the current time.

The FBI and U.S. Marshals have offered a $15,000 reward for Leonard’s arrest.
