According to MCAO, those include suspects Treston Billey, Dominic Turner and Taylor Sherman, who were arrested along with four others.
All are being charged as adults, but the only three eligible for capital punishment were Billey, Turner and Sherman.
Talan Renner, Talyn Vigil, Jacob Meisner and William Owen Hines were also arrested in March in connection to Lord's murder.
All seven defendants are facing first-degree murder and kidnapping charges, but it's under Arizona's felony murder law.
A target trial date was set for July 2025 in the Lord case, suspects appeared in court last on Thursday, May 9.
