Two teenagers were killed in a shooting in Antioch, and two 16-year-old's were arrested.

Authorities said the incident happened before 4:30 p.m. Saturday in the 700 block of Piccadilly Row.

When officials got to the scene, they said they found two people dead. The victims were identified as 16-year-old Eduardo Trejo and 15-year-old Jonathan Martinez.  

Two teens, 16-year-old Anthony D. Sinor, Jr. and 16-year-old Mitchell Mann, were detained for questioning Saturday night.

Officials confirmed on Sunday the two had been arrested and charged with two counts each of criminal homicide.

 

 

Authorities confirmed the shooting happened on the back deck of Sinor's home.

According to a preliminary investigation, Sinor reportedly believed Trejo had recently burglarized his home. Police said Sinor allegedly conspired with Mann to lure Trejo to the home.

Trejo went to the home with Martinez, and both were fatally wounded.  

Sinor called 911, and when officers responded, he said the shooting happened during an attempted burglary.

When Sinor was detained, police also took possession of the alleged murder weapon, a semi-automatic pistol.

Later, authorities said Sinor admitted there was no attempted burglary on Saturday afternoon. Mann had fled from the scene prior to officers arriving. He later met with detectives on Saturday night.

Both were being held in juvenile detention. The investigation remained ongoing.
