The deadline for the two and the third suspect, Piper Lee, to reach a deal is Thursday.

All three suspects were indicted last year after a mail carrier was shot in the leg last February while on her route in Spring Branch.

A’Hearn allegedly shot the mail carrier when she would not give him her cellphone.

The suspects face a number of charges, including aiding and abetting, assault of a federal officer and possession of stolen mail.
