More Info

Emanuel Dewayne Mitchell, 31; Anthony Devale Morrison, 43; and Jevontia Ingram, 14, now face murder charges in the shooting death of 16-year-old Antwun Parker. Parker was killed by pharmacist Jerome Jay Ersland during an attempted robbery of Reliable Discount Pharmacy, 5900 S Pennsylvania Ave.

Ersland, 57, was charged Wednesday with first-degree murder. Prosecutors contend he killed Parker after Parker had been incapacitated by a shot to the head. Ingram, 14, confessed to his role in the robbery, telling Oklahoma City police Mitchell and Morrison put him up to it, according to court papers.

Oklahoma County District Attorney David Prater initially said he would not charge anyone but Ersland in connection with Parker's death because it was the result of Ersland's actions, not the robbery try.

He said he reconsidered after researching the law.
