Two men in custody after teens shot in Oxford; manhunt lasted one month

Two men face attempted first-degree murder charges after two teenagers were shot in Oxford on March 13. One suspect was captured after more than a month on the run.

Broadcastify radio traffic indicates the shooting was reported around 1 a.m. in the 200 block of Maple Drive.

Pat Ford, Oxford's police chief, said two boys under the age of 18 had multiple gunshot wounds. 

Warrants were obtained for Jerome Bumpass and Nicolen Maurice Pettiford for three counts of attempted first degree murder and one count of conspiracy to commit first degree murder. 

Bumpass was taken into custody after the shooting. Pettiford was arrested one month later, on April 13, in Henderson. Both have previous convictions.

The teens are 15 and 16 years old. They are being treated for their injuries at Duke University Medical Center.

There is no known motive for the shooting.
