3rd man charged in quintuple murder

Authorities say a third man has been arrested and charged in the killings of five people during a home invasion on Chicago's South Side in April.

Chicago police say 27-year-old Michael A. King was charged Tuesday with five counts of first-degree murder, five counts of armed robbery and one count of home invasion.

Police say they located King in the Cook County Jail on unrelated charges. He's in the custody of the Cook County sheriff's office and a court date hasn't been scheduled. It's not clear if he's got an attorney.

King is the third person charged in the crime. The two other men have been ordered held without bond.

Police say no other people are being sought in connection with the murders.
