PRICHARD, Ala. (WALA) - Prichard Police arrested the two final suspects in the shooting of a 15-year-old early Tuesday morning. Eighteen-year-old Darrel Maye was arrested and charged with attempted murder Thursday before midnight.

Heath Andre Fisher, 16, was arrested around 3:45 p.m. Thursday and was also charged with attempted murder.

Willie Stanberry, Jr. is already in custody, charged with attempted murder.

Investigators say the shooting happened around 1:30 a.m. Tuesday in the Leeds Avenue area.

Prichard Police Chief Jimmie Gardner said a 15-year-old was standing in front a house with several other people when the suspects opened fire. A patrol officer in the area said he heard the gunshots.

According to authorities, the 15-year-old was struck once in the jaw and once in the arm.

Officials said officers chased the vehicle, but said the suspects didn't want to give themselves up.

During the pursuit, police said an AK-47 was thrown from the vehicle, and they believe it was the weapon used and now have it as evidence.

Police also said the car in which the suspects were driving was stolen from Mobile. Investigators said they also found a codeine drink mixture and crack cocaine in the car.

The 15-year-old is expected to recover.
