BOCA RATON, Fla. (AP) – A second arrest has been made in the fatal shooting of a Florida Atlantic University student at an off-campus Boca Raton apartment.

Media outlets report 23-year-old Rodrick Demetrius Woods was arrested Monday. He faces first-degree murder and robbery charges in the death of 19-year-old Nicholas Max Acosta.

According to a news release, Acosta’s girlfriend said five men entered a third-floor apartment Dec. 29 and ordered the couple to the ground. Acosta was shot. She told police a bag of marijuana was missing after the shooting.
