Two teenagers were arrested in Conway on Friday and are facing capitol murder charges for the death of 20-year-old Jason Sims.

Conway police officers arrested a 17-year-old man and 19-year-old Ezekiel Taylor during a traffic stop on Friday.

Police said in a Facebook post that the teens lured Sims to an area near the Rock Creek Apartment complex and shot him on Thursday. Sims later died at the hospital.

Facebook tips led them to believe the 17-year-old was a suspect within 12 hours of the shooting, according to the post.

Taylor was being held at the Faulkner County jail Friday evening. He is facing capital murder and burglary charges. Police said the 17 year old is expected to be tried as an adult.
