Two others men, aged 21 and 26, were detained on suspicion of assisting an offender.
All four remain in police custody.
Detective Chief Inspector Chris Wood, leading the investigation, said: “My thoughts continue to be with Jeremiah’s family and friends.
“Jeremiah’s family deserve answers about what happened to him and who was responsible for his death.
"We are working hard to provide those answers and while our investigation has significantly progressed we still need members of the pubic to come forward and tell us what they know.
“Your information could be vital to our investigation no matter how insignificant you may think it to be. Please get in touch with police or Crimestoppers with anything you know.”
