Meanwhile, police added that they’d secured an arrest warrant for the third suspect — identified as James Nelson, 22 — who is wanted on the same two charges.
According to the police department, officers responded to the Best Buy store along Rinehart Road on the night of Dec. 18, discovering 21-year-old Terance Darnell Pope injured in the parking lot.

Pope’s family and friends later told News 6 that Pope hailed from DeBary and had played college football at Davenport University up in Michigan.
However, police announced that they are still searching for Nelson’s whereabouts.
“The pain that Terance’s family is feeling is a pain that no family should feel,” Police Chief Cecil Smith said on Thursday. “If you know something about the location of this criminal, you need to speak up now. These three suspects did not hesitate to take Terance’s life; they all need to be located and taken off our streets.”
Anyone with information on Nelson’s whereabouts is urged to contact the police department or Crimeline at (800) 423-8477.
