GREENSBORO, N.C. — Editor's note: The video attached to this story is from a previous story on charges in the death of Rysyrus Whitehurst.
A man is facing more charges and four more people were arrested Thursday in connection to a man reported missing and later found dead on Randleman Road back in January.
Police said Tahj Jahmier Johnson-Harris, 22, of Greensboro who was arrested back on Jan. 13 for first-degree murder. He was charged Thursday with robbery with a dangerous weapon, concealment/failing to report a death, and disturbing human remains in the death of Rysyrus Whitehurst.

Investigators arrested Ozahrie Lee Brooks, 18, outside of Page High School in Greensboro back on Jan. 24. Officers charged him with accessory after the fact in Whitehurst’s death. Guilford County Schools officials previously confirmed Brooks is a student at Page.
In total, six people are now facing charges.

Police say they work with community leaders to help reduce this kind of crime through initiatives like the 500 jobs program. It gives people the opportunity to learn responsibility, job skilled, and gain employment experience.
Greensboro Mayor Nancy Vaughan says it works well. "The idea was to identify jobs with corporations where they can be mentors and also give them the ability to look at a job they may have never considered before. These were paying jobs and they were a minimum of 30 hours a week," said Vaughan.
Last month, News 2 held a special discussion on safety with Guilford County leaders.
The Guilford County Sheriff spoke on the importance of the parent's role in their child's life.
"Listen to them, give them direction. I believe to give children room for error but no room for craziness. So, when we begin to look at those two we have to make sure we have organizations and groups and those of us on this panel to take the time out to put things together and listen to them and see what we can get done," said Sheriff Danny Rogers.
Those interested in the 500 jobs program should contact the Greensboro Police Department.
