A fifth man has been arrested in connection to the death of 18-year-old Lukas Strasser-Hird in a Beltline alley in late November.

The 19-year-old was arrested Tuesday afternoon, and charges are pending. Four other suspects have already been charged.

Lukas Strasser-Hird died after suffering critical, life-threatening injuries in the alley located at Second Street and 10th Avenue S.W. An autopsy confirmed he died from stab wounds.

It's believed Strasser-Hird was involved in two altercations before his death. After the first incident, he and friends were separated from the situation but ran into another group of people shortly after. 

Police believe several people were involved in the incident, and the investigation is still underway.
