Akili McDowell was arrested and charged with the murder of a 20-year-old man.
The 21-year-old actor, best known for his roles in “Billions” and “David Makes Man,” was taken into custody last week in connection to a deadly shooting, according to an update from Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez.
Per Gonzalez’s Facebook post, “Harris County Sheriff’s Office deputies responded to an incident that occurred in the parking lot of an apartment complex” on July 20.
When they arrived at the scene, Cesar Peralta was found with several gunshot wounds. Peralta, 20, “was pronounced deceased at the scene.”
The statement noted that the suspects fled the scene. It’s unclear how McDowell was connected to the incident or his relationship with Peralta.
