The Essex County Prosecutor’s Office says the preliminary investigation indicates the shooting stemmed from a long-running feud between Cephus and the 17-year-old and Spinks and the 16-year-old.
Woodson was an innocent bystander.
The adults are held in the Essex County jail, and the juveniles have been taken to a youth detention center.
