Keith Maurice Jones Jr. is charged as an adult after police say he was known to the victims and had been at their home days before the killings.
- On Wednesday, Baltimore County Police arrested 16-year-old Keith Maurice James Jr. in connection with the murders of siblings Giovanna "Gigi" Myrie, 15, and Steve Allen, 9, found dead in their Gwynn Oak home earlier this month.
- Officers discovered the siblings fatally shot inside their Talles Road home on July 7 after their parents returned to the residence and called 911.
