Morse was charged with criminal homicide and attempted criminal homicide, and the 15-year-old faces the same charges.
Morse is being held at the Hamilton County Jail without bond, and is scheduled to appear in Sessions Court May 8.
The 15-year-old also was denied bail and is being held at the Hamilton County Juvenile Detention Center. He has a review date set for May 20.
Allen was taken into custody at the Sheriff's West Annex.
With Allen's arrest, Hamilton County Sheriff's Office officials say they are confident that the three primary suspects in the April 9 slaying have been identified and arrested, according to a news release.
However, the investigation remains open, and detectives will continue to try to identify others who provided assistance to the suspects.
