BALTIMORE (WBFF) — Police have arrested and charged three men in connection with the murder of 15-year-old John Lewis following a fatal shooting in East Baltimore on May 7.
The suspects have been identified as:

Shortly after, police stopped a vehicle at Mannasota and Brendan Avenues, where they discovered John Lewis inside, also suffering from gunshot wounds. Both victims were transported to a nearby hospital, but Lewis succumbed to his injuries.

The motive for the shooting has not been publicly disclosed. Police are continuing their investigation.
