This case was unsolved for nearly 11 years until Harris and the other men; Kenneth Thompson, Kevin Harris, and Darrell Harris, were fingerprinted as suspects and taken into custody, per authorities.
The victims, identified as Cheryl Colquitt, 32, Quinones King, 33, and Rodney Cottrell, 43, were reportedly lured into a residence and forced inside at gunpoint before they were tortured, killed, and stuffed into a 2010 Dodge Charger, according to Clayton County Sheriff's Office.
Despite three of the men sharing last names, it remains unclear as to whether they are relatives. All four men have been slapped with three counts of malice murder each, per the Sheriff's Office.
The Superintendent of Jefferson County Schools Walter Gonsoulin weighed in saying they are still "gathering facts" about the situation. "We have been made aware that Mr. Keante Harris was arrested Wednesday afternoon," Gonsoulin began. "At this time, we still are gathering facts about the specifics of this situation."
Per the superintendent, Harris has been placed on administrative leave. Harris is employed at McAdory Middle School in McCalla, Alabama.
