Williams-Barlow, then 16, and another male forced their way into the apartment and confronted McCarthron and Powers over money before shooting them.
“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 will be sentenced on Jan. 12; he faces life in prison.
