The two 24-year-old men were arrested in Las Vegas on Feb. 1 after being on the run since the shooting. Tolbert and Tolliver were extradited to Washington and booked into the King County Jail on Feb. 13.
Jamel Jackson, a third suspect, was arrested on the night of the shooting on a firearms violation. He was booked into the King County Jail on $250,000 bail following his release from Harborview Medical Center. He was one of the eight people shot and is not being charged for murder.
All victims aside from Jackson are believed to be random.
