Gibbons listed three possible sentences for suspects convicted of first-degree murder, including life in prison without parole, life in prison with the possibility of parole after 50 years and the death penalty.
Gibbons said Bradford's family will be consulted when deciding what sentence prosecutors will seek, but stressed that the final decision will be made by the District Attorney's office.
Godwin praised homicide investigators for their role in making the arrests, citing more than 200 witness interviews and analysis of security camera footage as some of their efforts to gain suspect information.
"These arrests are the result of hard work by investigative services, citizen tips and the cooperation of Crime Stoppers," Godwin said.
Last week, the Crime Stoppers award was raised to $7,000 through the Memphis City Council and a private donation. Godwin said an anonymous tip to Crime Stoppers aided investigators in making the arrests.
Bruce Harber, director of police services for The U of M, praised the MPD for its hard work.
"This will allow us at The University to get back to what we need to be doing. That's educating our students," Harber said.
