Wallace was cleared of any involvement in the case after a suspect turned himself in to the Meridian Police Department, the MPD said in a statement.
Wallace has been released and exonerated of any charges, MPD Officer Rachel McCord said.
Police say a suspect, who is a minor, gave them details of his involvement in the incident. The suspect has been charged with capital murder and armed robbery, police said.
In a Meridian Police Department news release on Monday, Robert Byrd, 17, is listed as being charged on Aug. 21 with capital murder and armed robbery.
Police said they would not discuss any charges related to Byrd because of his age.
“He’s being charged as an adult but we can’t release the name because he’s a juvenile,” McCord said.
