Two teenagers have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with a double homicide at the Graham Village Apartments in August.
According to information provided by the Graham Police Department, a 17-year-old male and a 14-year-old male were arrested on Tuesday and charged with two counts of felony first-degree murder. Their names are not being released due to the fact they are juveniles. Both are being held at local juvenile detention facilities.
