Police said Tommy Martinez, 17, received three gunshot wounds during a fight in the 100 block of East Jackson Street.

Mark A. Mangan, 17, and Timothy Walker, 16, have both been charged with aggravated battery with a firearm, aggravated discharge of a firearm, and mob action.

Walker also faces an attempted first degree murder charge.

It was written in Walker’s case file that the defendant performed a substantial step toward the commission of first degree murder when he shot Martinez in the body with a firearm with the intent to kill.

Police said the two boys turned themselves in to the Carbondale Police Station the day after the shooting occurred.

Assistant States Attorney Mark Hamrock said Walker was transferred from juvenile to adult court, and therefore will be tried as an adult.

Mangan plead not guilty, and a petition to reduce his bond was denied during a hearing Aug. 3. His bail remains $50,000.

Walker’s preliminary hearing is Aug. 31 and another hearing date has not yet been set for Mangan.

Walker is being held at the St. Claire Juvenile Detention Center and Mangan is at Jackson County Jail.

The current condition and whereabouts of Martinez are unknown at this time.
