HUTCHINSON— Five juveniles, including two Hutchinson High School students were arrested on Wednesday on suspicion of solicitation to commit first-degree murder.

Police arrested Tyler A. Cabral, Jacobsen T. Eells, Takoda D. Bowman and Dominic D. Collins, all 16, and 17-year-old Andre R. Harris, Wednesday afternoon.

According to District Attorney Keith Schroeder the five mutually encouraged one another to commit murder at Hutchinson High School. A press release from the police department said the investigation began Monday when threats on Facebook were reported.

Schroeder said he didn’t know how real the danger was but the threats had to be taken seriously. He said there was no need for further concern after the arrests.

The suspects are in the Reno County Youth Services Detention Facility pending appearances in juvenile court.
