Brandon Dean Brown, 20, of the 2800 block of Camberwell Road, is charged with shooting into an occupied dwelling and use of a firearm in the commission of a felony.

Maurice Lamar Maudlin, 20, of the 1800 block of Fernbrook Drive, is charged with possession of a controlled substance with the intent to distribute and possession of an illegal narcotic while in possession of a firearm.

The victims were leaving their vehicle at 1:50 a.m. when the suspects approached. Fearing they might be robbed, the victims ran to their apartment.
