A Jacksonville jury returned a guilty verdict against a man who killed two Mexican men during a Christmas Eve 2009 robbery ambush at the victim’s apartment. Terrance Tyrone Phillips, 20, was convicted of two counts of first-degree murder, armed burglary, attempted armed robbery and conspiracy in the fatal shootings of 26-year-old Mateo Hernandez-Perez and 30-year-old Reynaldo Antunes-Padilla.
Witnesses testified that it was Terrance, who was armed with a pistol when he and his cousin, Antonio Lorenzo Baker, 22, rushed into the Mexican men’s Lighthouse Bay Apartments unit. No one actually testified to seeing Terrance pull the trigger during a struggle that then took place, but Aurelio Salgado, a third roommate wounded when a beer bottle was smashed over his head, said he was being chased out of the apartment by Antonio when he heard the gunshots.
Antonio and Terrance were led there by two women, Barbara Ann Anders, 20, and Shanise Malayissa Bing, 19. Barbara and a friend had met the victims at a store near their apartment earlier that day and exchanged phone numbers. They said the women had returned to the apartment and acted as prostitutes in a plot to rob the men with Terrance and Antonio. Shanise and Barbara pleaded guilty to armed burglary and conspiracy to commit armed robbery.
