Officials on Friday announced the arrests of two adults and two juveniles on charges stemming from the death of 15-year-old Al-Shakeen Woodson.

Authorities have charged 19-year-old Jaqeuce Spinks and a 16-year-old from Newark with murder and weapons offenses.

Authorities also charged 18-year-old Marquise Cephus and a 17-year-old on weapons charges.

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.
