MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- New information now shows a connection between two fatal shootings from June.

A 9-year-old boy died from a stray bullet June 13. A week later a teen was shot at a Juneteenth concert June 19 and later died.

Three teens are now facing a host of felonies, and one of the suspects is still on the run.

17-year-old Damarion Glenn and 16-year-old Christian Hubanks were involved in the first. Glenn and 15-year-old Noah Shotwell were involved in the second.

The first happened on June 13.

Damarion Glenn and Christian Hubanks went to an apartment complex off Swan Road, looking to fight a 17-year-old named Sherrone Thornton, Jr.

When they saw Thornton was with his mother, the abandoned that plan.

But they claimed Thornton shot at them as they walked away.

They shot into the air in response -caught on security video- then walked to what they thought was Thornton's apartment and fired at least six shots through the window.

But it wasn't Thornton's apartment; 9-year-old Jonael Zambrano was shot and killed while he lay in his bed.

An acquaintance told investigators Hubanks was "sick to his stomach" when he found out Zambrano was killed.

The second shooting came six days later at a Juneteenth rap concert at Washington Park June 19 after roughly 50 teens got in a fight.

Damarion Glenn was one of them. Sherrone Thornton, Jr. -who Glenn and Hubanks were looking for at the apartment building- was also there.

Police drone video showed Glenn shot Thornton, who fell to the ground.

15-year-old Noah Shotwell was with Glenn; he walked up to Thornton while he was on the ground and shot him at least twice.

Thornton had four or five gunshots to the chest and stomach. He later died at the hospital.

The three teen suspects are now being charged as adults.

Christian Hubanks told investigators Damarion Glenn is somewhere out of state.

Hubanks also said he knows that Glenn and Shotwell are responsible for the Washington Park shooting.
