All three are charged with armed assault to murder — Moreno faces one count while Wells and the 16-year-old each face three. They all face a variety of weapons charges, as well.
Two firearms were recovered during the investigation, police say, with one being an untraceable ghost gun.
"This case underscores our department's commitment to addressing violence in our community," Methuen Police Chief Scott McNamara said in a statement Thursday. "The tireless work of our officers, along with the support of our local and regional partners, exemplifies the strength of collective efforts in ensuring public safety."
Police did not say when any of the suspects would appear in court or whether they have attorneys.
