Boston Police have identified three suspects they believe are connected to the March murder of Allex Bryant in Roxbury, and are asking for the public's help in finding two of the three suspects.

Bryant was shot around 3 a.m. on March 21 outside 66 Humboldt Ave. in Roxbury. Officers found him dead in the passenger side of a car.

On Thursday, Aug. 25, members of a US Marshal Task Force arrested one suspect related to the case, Dartanyan Pledger, 24, in Atlanta. Pledger is from Dorchester. Officials will bring Pledger back to Boston and charge him with murder.

Pledger was arrested in July of 2015 and charged with armed robbery after he and another man allegedly robbed a person at gunpoint in Dedham, according to Wicked Local Dedham.

Police are still looking for two other suspects connected to Bryant's murder, and are asking for the public's help in finding them. Niccokowan Pledger-Grant, 26, of Quincy, is wanted for murder, and Lisa Lewis, 24, also of Quincy, is wanted as an accessory after the fact.
