A judge denied bond for the teens on Wednesday, the same day DeWitt’s family is set to have a private funeral service.
Channel 2′s Elizabeth Rawlins was in the courtroom when a judge told the pair they are each facing felony murder charges.
“Sir, you have four felonies. Do you know what they are?” the judge said. “Do you know what that means for you? You are going to be here for awhile.”
Police said the teens targeted DeWitt, although his mother, Dawn DeWitt, said her son did not know Bryan or Richardson.
Family and friends are gathering Wednesday night for a private funeral service.
