Steven Michael Rosa is charged with criminal homicide for the shooting death of Tywon Abner, according to prosecutors.

Rosa, 30, is also charged with persons not to possess a firearm due to a previous conviction for robbery, the DA's Office said. 

He is being held without bail due to the nature of the charges and has a preliminary hearing scheduled for June 11, according to officials and court records.
