Jarrard Bradford, 29, of 16231 Trumbull Ave., was also at the apartment. Police searching Jarrard found a small amount of marijuana. He is charged with possession of less than 2.5 grams of marijuana. 

A woman had originally called police after an argument arose between her and the two men. She told police that Jarrard was the one with a gun before Denero admitted to being the owner.

One of the brothers said he frequented the apartment.
