NEWARK, New Jersey (CNN) -- Two people, including a 15-year-old boy, are in custody in connection with the execution-style slayings of three college students in a Newark, New Jersey, schoolyard, authorities said.
Jose Carranza, 28, of Newark, New Jersey, surrendered in the slayings of three college students.
Jose Carranza, 28, of Newark, surrendered with his lawyer at midday Thursday, Mayor Cory A. Booker said.
The suspect insisted on surrendering to the mayor after learning he was wanted for murder.
"He simply came forward. He said nothing," recalled Booker, who rushed from a news conference to meet the lawyer, Felix Lopez Montalvo, for the surrender. Video Watch Booker describe the surrender ยป
"We put him in handcuffs and we walked the individual into the office. I personally helped the detective to sit him down and I left," the mayor added.
The teenager was taken into custody at about 11 p.m. on Wednesday.
Booker said others are being sought. "We have very, very strong leads," he told reporters. "I want the killers off the streets of Newark."
Ballistics evidence, information from the shooting's lone survivor and a fingerprint lifted from a beer bottle at the scene led to the major break in a criminal case that has outraged a city numbed by street violence.
At a news conference earlier Thursday, Booker praised the "incredible courage" of survivor Natasha Aeriel, 19. She is in stable condition and under heavy police guard at The University Hospital in Newark, recovering from gunshot and knife wounds.
"From her hospital bed, she has been cooperating with authorities and making identifications," Booker said.
Newark Police Director Garry McCarthy and Essex County Prosecutor Paula Dow asked for the public's help in the rapidly developing case. A $150,000 reward is being offered for information.
An arrest warrant had sought Carranza's arrest for three counts of murder, a single count of attempted murder, four counts of robbery, conspiracy and weapons offenses.
"We believe that others were involved in this heinous crime. We are looking for them," Dow said.
The 15-year-old was not identified because of his age, but Dow said she would seek to try him as an adult.
Newark has become accustomed to violence but the slayings on Saturday night touched a nerve.
The four friends, ages 18 to 20, were shot while listening to music at the schoolyard.
Three of them -- Terrance Aeriel, 18, Dashon Harvey, 20; and Iofemi Hightower, 20 -- were forced to kneel against a wall and were shot in the head, execution style.
Authorities have said robbery appeared to be the motive, but Dow said Tuesday that police also were looking into possible gang involvement.

* Slayings outrage Newark
While Newark has seen 60 homicides this year, the schoolyard killings stood out because the victims, by all accounts, were good kids. All four were enrolled at Delaware State University or were in the process of enrolling.
James Harvey, Dashon's father, described his son Monday as "a good, good student, college student."
"For him to be killed on the streets of Newark needlessly is very unacceptable," he said at a news conference.
"They're out here hurting innocent kids," he added. "Innocent people are dying needlessly, unnecessarily and for what? For what? This has to stop."

Tragic Night In Newark
Overview
18-year-old Terrance Aeriel was an ordained minister and played in the Delaware State University band.
What began as a quiet night in Newark, New Jersey, ended in tragedy. Four young people, three of whom were students at Delaware State University, were victims of a senseless shooting.
After stopping by the home of siblings Natasha and Terrance Aerial, the group headed out again, to get something to eat. Natasha and Terrance, along with close friends Dashon Harvey and Iofemi Hightower, left the house around 9:45 p.m. on August 4, 2007.
The four friends ended up outside of Mount Vernon Elementary school, where they were listening to music and hanging out. Cops say when the four college students got to the school, two other men were already there. But when three other low-lifes showed up, Terrance, Iofemi, Natasha and Dashon started text messaging eachother that it was time to .
The only eye-witness to this crime was Natasha Aeriel, and police hope that once her condition improves, she will be able to provide them with information.
Natasha Aeriel, the only survivor in the brutal slaying, is a junior accounting major at Delaware State University.
Police arrived at the scene after receiving phone calls reporting gunshots and screams in the area. By the time they arrived, three of the four young students were already dead, shot execution style in the back of the head.
Terrance Aeriel, Dashon Harvey, and Iofemi Hightower had been lined up against a wall near a set of bleachers, and shot at close-range. 19-year-old Natasha Aeriel was found almost 30 feet away from the other victims, with a gunshot wound near her ear. She was alive when the police arrived, and was immediately transported to University Hospital.
Four days after the shooting, police picked up a 15-year-old boy in connection with the case. 28-year-old Jose Carranza turned himself into authorities after his name and photo was released in connection with the brutal shooting. Both have been charged with three counts of murder, four counts of first-degree robbery, one count of attempted murder, one count of conspiracy to commit robbery, and various weapons charges.
Carranza became a person of interest after police were able to lift a fingerprint from a beer bottle at the scene. The print was then run through a State Police database of known criminals and then detectives presented the lone survivor, Natasha, with a photo array of possible suspects. Cops say Natasha picked out Carranza and gave authorities a videotaped statement.
Carranza's Checkered Past Overview
Jose Carranza turned himself in to police shortly after a press conference announced a warrant for his arrest.
According to officials, Carranza is an undocumented illegal immigrant from Peru. Cops say he lives with his wife and young daughter in Orange, New Jersey, was facing two previous indictments under two different names. Carranza was free on bail and awaiting trial on both cases when he turned himself in on August 9, 2007.
