One line of inquiry being pursued by officers investigating the killing is that members of the East Belfast UVF were responsible.
The latest arrest saw a 36-year-old man detained. He was taken to Musgrave police station in Belfast city centre for questioning.
A 22-year-old man also remained in police custody on Friday morning.
Six other people arrested in connection with the murder – four men and two women – were all subsequently released on bail pending further inquiries.
Mr Ogle was attacked as he prayed with a pastor on a street near his home in Cluan Place.
More than 1,000 people attended a vigil in his memory on Wednesday, bringing the busy Albertbridge Road to a standstill.
Those attending heard a plea for answers and justice for the Ogle family, but no revenge.
