HOUSTON – Three teenagers are now facing major charges after they reportedly shot and killed two individuals last week.

Police say officers were called to a business in that block and found a 20-year-old and a 15-year-old suffering from gunshot wounds.

Investigators say they learned the three suspects had entered the business and sat down at a table.

Shortly after, the two victims reportedly entered the establishment, and one confronted a suspect.

At some point during the argument, one of the suspects pulled out a gun and shot both victims.

The two were taken to the hospital where the 20-year-old was reportedly pronounced dead. A few days later, the 15-year-old was also said to have succumbed to his injuries, according to officials.

Keilon Omari Barnes was arrested on Nov. 3 and subsequently charged. The two juvenile suspects were arrested and referred to Harris County Juvenile Probation authorities on Nov. 4.
