Fatal shooting
What we know:
U.S. Marshals said Damarius Twitty-Montgomery and Charles Steward hopped in a car with twin brothers and another man. The supposed friends had a plan to meet with a drug dealer, according to prosecutors. They ended up at 38th and Keefe when U.S. Marshals said Twitty-Montgomery and Steward showed their cards.
"Surveillance video shows the two suspects shooting at the victim and the victim shooting back," a U.S. Marshal said.
The 18-year-old victim suffered multiple gunshot wounds. He was rushed to the hospital where he died.
Witnesses helped identify Twitty-Montgomery and Steward, explaining they stole the victim's gun.
"None of the firearms have been recovered, so I would say they still have possession of them or other firearms," a U.S. Marshal said.
