Two teenagers have been arrested and charged with the murder of a 20-year-old man last month in Germantown, Maryland, police announced Wednesday.
A 14-year-old from Kensington and a 15-year-old from Germantown face first-degree murder charges in the fatal shooting of Taon Lamont Cline, of Frederick. They were arrested Tuesday.
