CROWN POINT â Authorities arrested two men and a teenager Monday on charges they shot and killed a 16-year-old boy and attempted to kill two others in July in Gary in retaliation for an earlier double homicide, court records show.Â
Devonte T. Phillips, 19, Christian I. Nelson, 17, and Thaddeus S. McWilliams, 18, all of Gary, are accused of targeting the family of Xavier Watson after Lake County prosecutors dropped murder charges in May against Watson and Mikal Franklin.
Watson and Franklin initially were charged with murder in the May 18 shooting deaths of Trevion Hudnell, 19, and Phillip Phillips, 21, both of Gary.
Phillip Phillips was Devonte Phillips older brother, according to Lake Criminal Court records.

Due to federal law 18 U.S.C. 922 (g), however, legal users of cannabis can not be legal owners of firearms. Petters, and others in similar situations, are faced with the difficult decision of choosing protection or pain relief. Dr. Corey Burchman, a Navy veteran in New York City, believes CBD can be used as an alternative to opioids, noting that owning a gun is allowed for users of other prescribed forms of pain relief.
