A third teen accused in a May slaying has been identified by police.

Messiah Neely, 15, faces charges of open murder, conspiracy to commit murder and robbery in a Las Vegas Justice Court case filed this week.

Police have accused Neely, Robert Saulsberry, 17, and Doir Jenkins, 18, of killing Jovan Wright-Bullock on May 11.

The three planned to rob Wright-Bullock of a pistol, according to a Metropolitan Police Department report, but when Wright-Bullock reached for a second gun, Saulsberry shot him.

“After they fled, Saulsberry realized the gun they stole from Jovan was actually a BB gun,” police said.

Metro said Saulsberry and Neely are brothers.

Neely was taken into custody on June 26 but was not identified until this week when his name appeared on a Clark County booking log.
