City residents Cooleone McNeil, 21, and Omire Rios-Williams, 19 -- who was previously charged in the May 3 killing of Emmanuel Garcia -- are both facing first-degree murder charges, Hudson County Prosecutor Esther Suarez said.
Multiple reports of gunshots fired near Crescent Avenue and Brikerhoff Street came in around 11 p.m. on May 21. Police found a total of six victims at the scene -- all Jersey City residents.

A 26-year-old man, 25-year-old man, 35-year-old woman and 20-year-old woman were injured in the incident, police said.
McNeil was arrested by embers of the United States Marshals Service New York/New Jersey Regional Fugitive Task Force (Hudson County Team) at the AMC Jersey Gardens movie theater on Aug. 5 around 4:30 p.m., Suarez said.
He was charged with two counts of murder, conspiracy to commit murder, four counts of attempted murder and weapons offenses.
Williams was charged with the same.
