Nashaun Hunter, Garth O'Neil, Darren Dawson and Tejmitra Sing were arrested March 2 and charged with felonies in the drive-by shooting of Nolan.

Only Dawson appeared in court, FIOS1News.com said.

Nolan was standing in a Burger King parking lot on Central Park Avenue in Yonkers Sept. 18 when he was struck in the head by a bullet.

He was taken to Jacobi Medical Center in the Bronx where he died Oct. 9 after being in a coma.

Nolan had been drafted by the Oakland Athletics in 2014, while he was on the baseball team at Oklahoma City University.
