"Raymond was arrested on July 10, 2021, on unrelated charges and held in custody while Xavier was arrested on July 15, 2021, in Casper on charges related to the case," she said.

Farkas declined to say whether Raymond and Xavier are related.

Raymond has been charged as an adult with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder and Xavier has been charged with attempted second-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder.

The two are currently being held in the Laramie County jail -- Raymond on a $100,000 cash bond and Xavier on a $250,000 cash bond -- and are scheduled for preliminary hearings on Jan. 28 at 9 a.m.
