Perez is accused of shooting Jonathan Carrillo in the head in a Phoenix condominium last Oct. 21.

Court documents state that Perez and Carrillo both were members of a documented street gang in north Phoenix.

Perez originally told police that Carrillo had shot himself with an AK-47 rifle, but authorities say an autopsy report refuted that.
