Earlier this month, a 17-year-old boy was also charged with manslaughter in the case after police said he "presented himself" to investigators.
The identities of the 16-year-old and two 17-year-olds cannot be released due to their ages.
CTV News has reached out to the Fredericton Police Force to see if they will be releasing the name of the 18-year-old.
