According to prosecutors, the 15-year-old suspect was allegedly with the 14-year-old at the time of the shooting. The possible handgun used in the shooting was found in the 15-year-old's backpack.  

The 15-year-old could is being held for second-degree unlawful possession of a firearm and first-degree rendering criminal assistance. 

Prosecutors say there have been no previous cases brought to their office for both teens.
