A second arrest has been made in the Javon Walker case, according to the Las Vegas Metro Police Department. Deshawn Thomas, 40, was arrested and will face kidnapping, robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery with substantial bodily harm charges. Almost two weeks ago, police made their first arrest in the case, of 30-year-old Arfat Fadel.

A surveillance photo of an unidentified suspect released at the time of Fadel’s arrest led to numerous tips to the police, and ultimately to Thomas’ identification.

The investigation is still ongoing.
