Landon Barker, 16, was hit with the same charges as Terrence Lynom, 16, and Angelo Clark, 17, who were each charged with two counts of first degree attempted murder and two counts each of aggravated battery with a firearm., the Tribune reports according to Cook County state's attorney's office.

Quianna and Travis were both shot while at a memorial for a 24-year-old man killed five years earlier; police told the Sun-Times the memorial was for a gang member, which the family disputes.

As of Sunday night, Quianna, shot in the chest, was still in critical condition. Travis was treated and released for a wounds to her leg.

Travis, whose nephew was the subject of the memorial, told ABC she was pleased the teens were charged, and added "education" and keeping kids active is the key from saving them from the streets. Travis blamed parents for their violent children saying:

"They grow up to be disrespectful; they don't respect their mothers. How are they going to respect you? Parents don't teach them."

It's not yet known if Landon will be in bond court Wednesday or Thursday.
