Germaine “Maine” Moses, also booked with six counts of attempted murder.

Two Chalmette brothers were booked Wednesday with attempted murder after one fired six shots into a house at a third man one had allegedly argued with outside his residence, but no one was injured, Sheriff James Pohlmann said.

Tremaine “Dudu”” Moses, 17, and his brother, Germaine “Maine’’ Moses, 19, both of 3715 Juno Drive, surrendered to sheriff’s detectives about noon Wednesday, brought by their mother, who had been told deputies had arrest warrants for them issued Wednesday morning by a judge. The warrants alleged six counts of attempted murder against each teen-ager.

Both were booked into the St. Bernard Parish Prison and no bond has been set. They denied being involved.

The brothers were arrested after one of them tried to kill Willie Daniels, age unknown, by firing into Daniels’ home at 9109 W. Virtue St. in Chalmette about 10:45 p.m., the night of July 22, Sheriff Pohlmann said. Daniels said he recognized both and said one pulled a gun but he didn’t which one shot at him.

Daniels said he went outside his home to lock up bicycles that were outside and found four or five men standing near his vehicle in his driveway, the sheriff said. He said he recognized two he knew as “Dudu”” and “Maine,’’ nicknames for the Moses brothers.

Daniels also said that as he went to get a bicycle, Tremaine Moses pulled a handgun from a waist band and yelled at Daniels to get back inside. Daniels further said he immediately turned to go back inside after seeing the gun and as he approached the open front door several shots rang out, causing him to dive inside.

Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call from the house and found six spent .45 casings in the front yard and also located projectiles inside the house, as well as five bullet holes in the door, speculating one shot went through the open door and five others through it when closed, the sheriff said.

Besides Daniels, five other people including three children were in the house but no one was injured. One shot hit a fish tank, two went through a wall into the bathroom and another hit a refrigerator in the kitchen.

Arrest warrants were obtained by Det. Ryan Melerine after Daniels identified both brohters as suspects from photo line-ups he was shown. The sheriff said.
