LITTLE ROCK—Prosecutors have filed a capital murder charge against a man who confessed to killing one soldier and wounding another outside an Army recruiting center in Little Rock.

Abdulhakim Muhammad, 24, is also charged with attempted capital murder and 10 counts of firing a gun from a vehicle.

Muhammad is accused of fatally shooting Pvt. William Long, 23, of Conway and wounding Pvt. Quinton Ezeagwula of Jacksonville. Both had just finished basic training and were outside the recruiting center June 1 when Muhammad drove up, opened fire and sped away. He was arrested a short time later.

Formal charges were entered Tuesday, the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette reported.

Prosecutor Larry Jegley said Wednesday that his office may pursue the death penalty.

Federal prosecutors have also explored filing charges against Muhammad.

Officers said Muhammad told them he intended to kill as many U.S. soldiers as he could. Muhammad, a Muslim convert, told The Associated Press in two phone interviews from jail last month that he didn’t view Long’s slaying as murder given U.S. military action against Muslims.

With the formal charges, Muhammad’s case moves to circuit court, where Judge Herbert T. Wright Jr. will preside. Wright’s office said Wednesday that it had not yet received enough information to schedule Muhammad’s arraignment.

Muhammad attorney Jim Hensley, citing a gag order, said Wednesday that he couldn’t discuss the case.
