Police arrested a 15-year-old and 16-year-old in connection to the shooting, officials announced Tuesday. The 15-year-old was charged with second-degree murder and a gun charge. The 16-year-old was charged with second-degree principal, which means they were present and may have been an accomplice to the crime.
