Tunson was found fatally shot near East 130th Street and Buckeye Road in Cleveland on October 26. The case concerns a Shaker Heights student, but the shooting occurred in Cleveland.
Cleveland 19 reported that both defendants were being held on $1.5 million bonds and were scheduled for arraignment in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court on November 30.
An indictment is an accusation, not a conviction. Both defendants are presumed innocent unless proven guilty.
