Prosecutors said that Antwain Williams-Barlow, then 16, and another male forced their way into the apartment and confronted McCarthron and Powers over money before shooting them.
Williams-Barlow, now 17, was arrested on Dec. 18, 2024.
He will be tried as an adult on charges of murder, aggravated robbery, felonious assault, aggravated burglary, and a weapons charge.
“This 16-year-old had no business having a handgun. Juveniles who commit violent and heinous crimes will be treated like adults we will hold them responsible for their actions,” Montgomery County Prosecutor Mat Heck.
Williams-Barlow is due in court on July 15.
