Authorities say an actor who starred in the television series “David Makes Man” has been charged with fatally shooting a man in the parking lot of a Houston apartment complex. The Harris County sheriff's office says 21-year-old Akili McDowell was charged last week with murder in the July 20 death of 20-year-old Cesar Peralta.

This booking photo provided by Harris County Texas Sheriff’s Office shows Akili McDowell, an actor that has been charged with fatally shooting a man on July 20, 2024, in the parking lot of a Houston apartment complex, authorities said.
McDowell, 21, was charged last week with murder in the July 20 shooting death of Cesar Peralta, 20, the Harris County sheriff’s office said. McDowell remained in jail Monday on $400,000 bond on the murder charge. The attorney listed for him in court records did not immediately reply to a request for comment.
“This is an unfortunate situation and I am in prayer for Akili and those impacted by this tragedy,” said his manager, Jonell Whitt, adding that she had no further comment. The sheriff’s office said deputies found an unresponsive man with gunshot wounds after responding to a call about a shooting at an apartment complex on July 20. The sheriff’s office said several witnesses told deputies the man had been in a physical altercation with another man, who fled on foot after the shooting.
