EVERETT — Two teenagers arrested this week in an investigation of a downtown Everett gun battle that left a Marysville teen dead.

One boy, 16, was arrested and charged this week in juvenile court, the Daily Herald reported. A second suspect, Angel Phoenix, 18, was booked into jail Thursday.

They’re accused of committing an armed robbery April 9 with Tyverius Walburn, 18, who died after the targets of the robbery and his group opened fire, according to police.

Walburn was the 16-year-old boy’s brother.

Gunfire hit cars, a house and nearby business around 2:35 p.m. April 9 near the Everett Public Library.

Walburn died of a gunshot wound to the chest. A second young man suffered bullet wounds to his legs.

The 16-year-old’s bail was set at $25,000. Bail was set at $250,000 for Phoenix. In a police interview, Phoenix reportedly denied being part of a plan to commit a robbery.
