Pittsburgh police Tuesday arrested the third suspect in the fatal shooting in September of a Woodland Hills High School graduate and former football standout.

Zion White, 21, of Garfield, was charged in the killing of Gavin Yarbough, 21.

Police said Yarbough was shot multiple times during a late-night meeting in what investigators believe was a drug deal that turned into a robbery.

On April 25, Pittsburgh police made the first arrest in the case, charging John Melvin Kyles, 20, of Pittsburgh. Officers arrested a second suspect — Marcus Johnson, 23, of Pittsburgh — on May 23

All three men are being held without bail in the Allegheny County Jail.

Yarbough was shot in the head, neck and torso around 10:50 p.m. Sept. 16 on Meadow Street in Pittsburgh’s Larimer neighborhood, according to authorities and a criminal complaint.

An unnamed witness rushed Yarbough in a private vehicle to UPMC Presbyterian hospital, where he died.

Yarbough graduated from Woodland Hills High School in 2021. He played defensive back, and in his senior year, he was named an all-conference football player for the Woodland Hills Wolverines.

White is awaiting a preliminary hearing. Preliminary hearings for Kyles and Johnson are scheduled for Tuesday.

White’s attorney was not listed Tuesday in court records.
