The victim was being driven by his 19-year-old brother to a tutoring session. The prosecutor said Delvalle approached the car and asked the brother about his gang affiliation, threw a bottle at the car and then opened fire.
Andrew Holmes was in court Saturday and said the brother has some responsibility.
"If you are a family member and you have gang ties out here on the street don't put these little kids in your car, don't walk with these little kids, because see what's going to happen when you come into some conflict with somebody else, who always on the end of that bullet, an innocent child." said Holmes.
The prosecutor said the boy is still in critical condition. She said Delvalle also threatened a witness in the case.
A second person is being questioned by police in connection with the shooting.
