Another suspect, Laron Pijeaux, 18, was also charged with burglary with intent to commit a felony. He remains hospitalized with gunshot wounds.

The home invasion was reported at 10630 Beechnut St. around 11:10 p.m.

Upon arrival, a man was found suffering from multiple gunshot wounds, later identified as Pijeaux. He was taken to an area hospital in critical condition.

Investigators learned that multiple armed suspects with masks kicked in the door of an apartment and started shooting.
