A second former McPherson College football player has been charged in the beating death of a football player from nearby Tabor College.

The McPherson County prosecutor's office confirmed Thursday that 19-year-old Dequinte Oshea Flournoy of Dallas was charged Wednesday with aiding and abetting second-degree murder.

Police say the 26-year-old victim, Brandon Brown of Sacramento, Calif., was found lying unconscious Sept. 16 after a fight at a party in McPherson, about 25 miles from the Tabor campus in Hillsboro. He never regained consciousness and died Saturday.

Flournoy played football for McPherson College in 2011 but left the team in August. He is suspended from McPherson College, pending the outcome of the case.

Bond has been set at $500,000. His attorney, Brent Boyer, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.
