Third man arrested in connection to Lincoln woman’s murder

Authorities on Friday announced a third arrest in a south Lincoln homicide investigation. 

Police said 25-year-old Sylvester LeBlanc Jr. was arrested in connection to the shooting death of Audrea Craig. 

LeBlanc Jr. joins Rubin Thomas and Jesse Foster in facing first-degree murder charges stemming from Craig’s death at a home near 26th and South Street on July 24. 

Thomas and Foster were booked in Lancaster County Jail Thursday. LeBlanc Jr. was booked Friday. 

Police said a fourth suspect, 26-year-old Martae Green, was shot by Craig after she armed herself during the apparent drug-related home invasion. Green was dropped off by several people at Bryan West shortly after the shooting where he later died.
