The second man accused of fatally shooting David Crosby Jr. at Atlantis Restaurant in May has been formally charged with murder and assault with a deadly weapon, according to Los Angeles County Superior Court records.

Charles Wetstone, 19, was arraigned Friday for his alleged involvement in Crosby’s murder, court records show. He, along with co-defendant Dwayne Rice, 29, will have a preliminary hearing Thursday in the Pasadena courthouse.

Both suspects have gang affiliations, according to the Pasadena Police Department, and are being held without bond. Authorities will not comment on whether Crosby, who was confronted and ultimately killed as he attended a private post-funeral party, had gang ties.

Wetstone has two other open cases pending in Los Angeles County Superior Court. One case is a misdemeanor battery charge, for which he faces a pre-trial hearing on July 16. The other charges are inflicting corporal injury on a spouse and making a criminal threat. Wetstone has a pre-trial hearing in that case on July 2. All of Wetstone’s open Los Angeles County Superior Court cases are being processed through the Pasadena courthouse.

Rice was recently described by PPD Lt. Tom Pederson as a “parolee at large” but the detective did not know the exact nature of the suspect’s parole. Rice has an extensive history of criminal charges, some leading to convictions. Past convictions include carrying a concealed weapon within a vehicle and eluding a police officer, court records show. He has also been convicted multiple times of driving with a suspended license. In addition, Rice has a pending attempted murder case at the Pasadena courthouse and has also been acquitted of multiple attempted murder charges in the past, according to Los Angeles County Superior Court records.
