COLUMBIA, S.C.—A 14-year-old suspect has been arrested in connection with a weekend shooting over a yearslong squabble that left three teenagers dead and another injured in the capital city of South Carolina, officials said Tuesday.

The youth joins two 17-year-old suspects, all charged with three counts of murder and one of attempted murder, according to the Richland County Sheriff’s Department. The two older boys will be tried as adults, according to the department, and a judge will decide whether the 14-year-old’s case stays in juvenile court.
