3/20/25 10:05 AM PT -- A spokesperson for the Bernalillo County prosecutor's office tells TMZ ... the third suspect wanted for murder in the hit-and-run death of a New Mexico man has been arrested. We're also told a pre-teen child will be charged with murder.

Bernalillo County D.A. Communications Director Nancy Laflin tells TMZ ... 11-year-old Messiah Hayes will face a murder charge. New Mexico law prevents a child under 12 years old from being detained in a juvenile facility ... but a child of that age can be charged with murder.
