Gilbert Thomas, 24, and Robert Nikia Nikki James, 46, both of Kingston, were charged with second-degree murder, felony assault and criminal use of a firearm in connection with the Dec. 17 fatal shooting at 60 Van Buren St., state police said Thursday morning.
James was arrested at 3:52 p.m. Wednesday, and Thomas at 12:21 a.m. Thursday. Both were being held in the Ulster County Jail without bail on Thursday.
State police executed a search warrant at 49 Franklin St. in Midtown Kingston on Wednesday in connection with the fatal shooting, a city police official said, and investigators were seen removing items from the home.

An Ulster County Jail official said Thursday that James lives at 49 Franklin St. and Thomas is a former resident of that address.

The 12-year-old and her 10-year-old brother were in their home in a rear apartment at 60 Van Buren St., in Midtown, at about 8 p.m. Thursday when a gunman fired into the house striking the two children in what Clegg called a depraved attack.
