Kendrick and Calloway were arrested without incident at a residence on Lakeview Drive just after noon on Friday.
Both Kendrick and Calloway will be charged with two counts of murder and two counts of armed robbery.
Kendrick is being held without bond, and Calloway is being held at the Macon Regional Detention Center.
Including these arrests, a total of five teenagers were charged with murder in August.
"This is a horrible situation. I have four words: it starts at home. I beg parents to seek help to save their kids before it’s too late,” said Sheriff David Davis.
The cases are still being investigated.
