Three of the five teenagers accused of setting fire to 15-year-old Michael Brewer of Deerfield Beach will be charged as adults, the Broward State Attorney's Office said Monday.

Denver Jarvis and Matthew Bent, both 15, and Jesus Mendez, 16, were charged with one count of second-degree attempted murder.

Adult charges have not been filed against Steven Shelton, 15, or Jeremy Jarvis, 13. Those two were released from custody on Monday, but prosecutors have not ruled out charging them as adults in the future.

"This is a very active, ongoing investigation,'' assistant state attorney Maria Schneider said. "As additional information becomes available, then we have the option to revisit our filing decision.''
