Oklahoma City police identify 16-year-old shot during alleged pharmacy robbery

Antwun Parker died from multiple gunshot wounds during an alleged afternoon robbery at Reliable Discount Pharmacy at 5900 S Pennsylvania Ave.

Police also identified store pharmacist Jerome Ersland, 57, as the man who shot the teenager.

Master Sgt. Gary Knight confirmed Ersland did have a concealed carry permit. But the district attorney will determine whether any charges will be filed.

Oklahoma City Police Sgt. Mike Klika said the shooting happened about 5:50 p.m. after Paker went into the store with a gun and demanded cash and drugs, police said.

Police are looking for a man they said accompanied the robber into the store, described only as a black male wearing a red shirt and dark pants. A third man was arrested about a block away after crashing a stolen car, but police have not determined if he was connected to the robbery.

A man whose wife and adult daughter were in the store at the time of the shooting said the pharmacy owner was robbed about three years ago and had said nothing like that was going to happen again. The man did not want to be named.

Police said no customers were in the store when the shooting happened.

Police interviewed witnesses for several hours, Klika said.
