Homicide detectives obtained capital murder warrants on Oct. 19 for Michael Lucky, 29, and Keith Johnson, 32.

Johnson, who was in jail on unrelated charges, also was charged with murder and held on $500,000 bond. Lucky remains at large.

Emmett died Sept. 23 outside his home in the 1800 block of North Prairie Avenue. He was sitting in his vehicle when two people approached. An individual pulled out a gun, and Emmett was shot as he tried to run away.
