Two brothers, Dayne and Drayden Fontaine, were shot in their home.
The teen, who can’t be named under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, has pleaded guilty to the first-degree murders of Janvier and Wood and to second-degree murder in the deaths of the Fontaine brothers. He also pleaded guilty to seven counts of attempted murder.
