- Brandin Hawkins was charged with one count of accessory after the fact.
- Andreas Monger was charged with counts of attempted first-degree murder and two counts of discharging a weapon into occupied property.
On Wednesday, authorities said they arrested Rashad Quadre Harmon and charged him in connection to the second shooting. He was charged with two counts of attempted first-degree murder, two counts of discharging a weapon into an occupied property and one count of possession of a firearm by a felon.
The sheriff's office said Harmon was also served with other outstanding warrants and is currently being held in the Hertford County Detention Center under a $1,075,000.00 secured bond.
