Police said someone called 911 around 12:50 a.m. last Saturday to report hearing gunshots and seeing someone lying on the ground along the 9200 block of Kensington Row Court.
Police did not release how the three men were related to the crime, or what led up to their arrests.

Machado was a student at Freedom High School.
