An 18-year-old implicated alongside two brothers in the bloody attack against a satirical weekly in Paris has surrendered to police, according to a source close to the case.
"Hamyd Mourad handed himself in to police ... on Wednesday at 11pm after seeing his name circulating on social media," the source said.
"He has been arrested and taken into custody," another source confirmed.
Earlier French police said they had identified three men as suspects in the deadly attack.
The two other men were named as brothers Said Kouachi and Cherif Kouachi, both French nationals in their early 30s.
Mourad handed himself in after seeing his name circulating on social media.
Several people linked to two other suspected attackers are reportedly also in custody.
Meanwhile police on Thursday published photos of the two Kouachi brothers as they launched an appeal to the public for information.
Paris police said arrest warrants had been issued for the two men and said they were "likely armed and dangerous".
