Three teens arrested and charged in the death of a Sherwood high school student Friday had bail set at $200,000 each by a judge over the weekend, jail records show.

Pulaski County District Court Judge Wayne Gruber set bail for the teens, identified through the Pulaski County jail roster as Xavier Porter, 17; Quincy Parker, 15; and Trevone Miller, 14.

Porter and Parker were each charged with capital murder, while Miller was charged with first-degree murder. All three were additionally charged with aggravated robbery.

Police responding to the Bill Harmon Recreation Center on Thursday afternoon found Bryan Allen Thompson, a 17-year-old student at Sylvan Hills High School, dead in a car.

Police have not released the manner of death or a suspected motive in the killing.

A spokesman with the Pulaski County Special School District said that Parker was a student at Sylvan Hills and Porter was a student at North Pulaski High School, which is also in the district.

Miller was not currently enrolled at any schools in the district but attended Sylvan Hills last semester, according to Deb Roush, the district spokesman.

Roush said that Sherwood police are providing extra security at the high school and neighboring Sylvan Hills Middle School, although she said there were no known threats at either school Monday.

Both schools are about 3 miles from the recreation center parking lot where Thompson was found.

"The Sherwood community is very close together, so it was more of a comforting factor," Roush said.

In addition to the added security, Roush said that administrators at Sylvan Hills and North Pulaski high schools made phone calls to parents over the weekend, urging the school communities to "come together" and asking parents to talk their children about social media posts related to the killing.
