It brings the number of people charged with the murder of Ms Dale, 28, to four.
James Witham, 40, of Ashbury Road, Huyton, and Joseph Peers, 28, of Woodlands Road, Roby, appeared at Liverpool Crown Court accused of the council worker's murder earlier this month.
Ms Dale, an environmental health officer for Knowsley Council, was not believed to have been the intended target of the shooting.
Her death was one of three gun killings within a week in Liverpool last year, with nine-year-old Olivia Pratt-Korbel killed in her home in Dovecot on August 22 and 22-year-old Sam Rimmer shot in Dingle on August 16.
