Along with Rodgers and Walker, two teenagers, 15-years-old and 17-years-old, have also been charged with one count each of murder and robbery in juvenile court.
The District Attorney’s Office hasn’t stated whether they plan on pursuing capital punishment for the two adults charged in the case. The decision of whether they will, either, though that will be made on a later date. Rodgers and Walker will still be facing life imprisonment for the charges.
