Officers were first called to the Dundalk scene Friday around 3:30 p.m. for reports of a shooting.
However, once on scene, officials determined that not only was a 41-year-old man suffering from a gunshot wound, but that a 56-year-old man had also been stabbed.
Both men were hospitalized, and police described the gunshot injury as life-threatening. It's unclear whether the stabbed individual was Willis.
Investigations say there is no active threat to the community, and that the incident was isolated.
While Southall is scheduled to appear for a preliminary court hearing on Sept. 18, Willis is booked for a bail hearing on Tuesday. Both men remain held without bond.
