According to Everett police, Walburn was part of a group that set up a deal over Snapchat to trade guns in a parking lot. Police believe it was planned as a ripoff and that it was the second time the 16-year-old boy tried to rob a gun from the same under-the-table dealer.
The 16-year-old's bail was set at $25,000.
Bail was set at $250,000 for Phoenix.
In a police interview, Phoenix reportedly denied being part of a plan to commit a robbery on April 9.
