The charges stem from the Nov. 9 murder of 36-year-old Brockton resident Gregory Grantsis.

Police were called to 69 Tremont St. just after 1:30 a.m. for reports of shots fired, and found Grantsis outside a car parked in the middle of the street with a gunshot wound to the face.

A second male victim also found outside the car had gunshot wounds in his leg and torso, while a third passenger in the car was not shot, according to the D.A.'s office.

Grantsis was taken to Brockton Hospital where he was pronounced dead at 2:13 a.m.

The second victim was taken to Good Samaritan Hospital and survived.

Jones and Severino were arrested without incident following an investigation from Brockton police and Massachusetts State Police.
