Orlando Fla May 25 2013A 17-year-old with a prior arrest for stealing a gun during a home burglary was charged by Orlando police Thursday with one count of first-degree murder in the death of an apartment complex security guard.
Terrance Anthony, who was already being detained on several unrelated charges, is accused of killing Allen Ray McPherson on Oct. 20.
McPherson, 48, was working at the Sabal Palm Apartments as a uniformed security guard when he was shot to death late that evening.
Police have said McPherson's body was found near his patrol car at Care Car Garage, a car wash on the east side of the apartment complex on Raleigh Street.
McPherson is survived by a wife of 25 years and a son.
Orlando police have released few details about the shooting, and documents that would explain Anthony's suspected involvement were not public Friday.
Detectives also arrested 18-year-old Khadijah Browne with one count of accessory after the fact to first-degree murder in the case. She remains at the Orange County Jail.
Court records show Anthony was charged with breaking into an Orange County home in March 2011 and stealing the resident's gun.
He pleaded no contest to burglary and grand theft charges in that case April 1. His plea agreement form said prosecutors recommend prison followed by probation. He faces up to 20 years behind bars.
Anthony is scheduled to be sentenced Thursday in that case, as well as an additional vehicle theft case.
Records show Anthony was arrested in November after he was caught driving a stolen BMW at the Excel alternative school.
He struck an unmarked patrol car while fleeing from deputies, ditched the BMW at a business on Orange Blossom Trail, and was later tracked down.
Deputies said Anthony was "disrespectful and refused to cooperate."
He was arrested on charges of grand theft motor vehicle and aggravated assault with a motor vehicle.
Anthony also pleaded no contest in that case.
