Thomas Deangelo Griffin, 19, was arrested Friday in the case on the same charges. He remains in jail under a $1 million bond.
The brothers, ages 14 and 16, were shot inside a vacant house on Grace Lane, near its intersection with Liberty Street. They remained hospitalized Tuesday, and police said they were in stable condition.
Police haven't released any details about a possible motive in the shootings, but they have said the crime wasn't random.
