Police: 4th arrest made in murders of Germantown teens set to graduate high school

ROCKVILLE, Md. - A fourth person has been arrested and is facing charges in the homicides of two Germantown teens who were shot to death earlier this year just one day before they were set to graduate high school.

Police say 25-year-old Rony Alexander Galicia was arrested Friday and charged with two counts of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit the murder.

17-year-old Shadi Adi Najjar and 18-year-old Artem S. Ziberov were found shot to death inside of a car on June 5th. The teens were expected to graduate from Northwest High School in Germantown the following day.

FOX 5's Paul Wagner reported that Najjar may have stolen drugs and an iPad from the girlfriend of one of his murderers.

Police had already arrested and charged 24-year-old Edgar Garcia-Gaona, 19-year-old Roger Garcia and 25-year-old Jose Ovilson Canales-Yanez in connection in the murders.

Galicia is expected in court later today.
