Today (Sept 17), the Brevard County Grand Jury issued an indictment charging D'Ante ANDERSON (21), with one (1) count of First Degree Premeditated Murder (CF), in connection with the August 11, 2019, death of Denathan Carter (27), in Titusville.

Titusville Police found Carter's body near the grounds of the Park Villa Apartments, along with shell casings from a 9 mm pistol. Carter had been shot multiple times.

After speaking with witnesses, police identified ANDERSON as a suspect in the case. During questioning ANDERSON initially denied any involvement but later admitted to shooting Carter, claiming it was in self-defense. However, evidence recovered at the scene, along with the location of wounds sustained by Carter, did not support ANDERSON's version of events. ANDERSON was arrested for the murder on August 24th, 2019, and held without bond.

The Grand Jury heard testimony from a Titusville Police criminal investigator, a lay witness, and the Brevard County Medical Examiner before returning with the indictment. ANDERSON remains in custody and is scheduled for an initial appearance* at the Brevard County Jail on September 18, 2019, at 1:15 PM.

*Defendants may have initial appearance waived by the Court without notice.
