Their accomplice, Jaturong Eiumtuam, 30, turned himself in on Tuesday night.
The shooting at around 5pm on Monday started when Peerapol, accompanied by a 15-year-old male, collided on his motorcycle with a gang of 12 rivals with four motorcycles. 
The two teens were chased and cornered by the rival group who was about to attack them with knives. Peerapol pulled out a gun and shot at the rival group, who hid in a nearby apartment.
