The Palm Beach Post (http://pbpo.st/1RpDM6m ) reports 22-year-old Alexander Eddie Gillis of Miami is expected in court Wednesday for a bond hearing. He is accused of killing 19-year-old Nicholas Acosta at a Boca Raton apartment that houses students from FAU, Lynn University and Palm Beach State College.
He was booked into jail late Tuesday and is charged with first-degree murder and armed robbery.
Two other South Florida men – 23-year-old Rodrick Demetrius Woods of Miami Gardens and 19-year-old Donovan Malik Henry of Miramar – have already been charged in the shooting.
Police have said Acosta was shot three times after five men entered the apartment and left with a large bag of marijuana.
