Heath is the second suspect that faces charges related to Brown’s homicide, Port Orange police said.

In July, police said 19-year-old McKenzy Nazien – who was already in custody at the Volusia County Branch Jail on an unrelated robbery charge – will face charges of premeditated murder and attempted murder.

Heath is currently in custody on no bond in Broward County, Florida.
