TAMPA, Fla. -- A man has been charged with killing of a Marine who had served in Iraq and Afghanistan, authorities said.

Jonathan Sanabria, 21, was arrested Tuesday on first-degree murder charges for shooting Miguel Angel Suarez, a Marine corporal, Hillsborough County deputies said. Sanabria was being held without bond. Jail records did not list an attorney for him.

Suarez, 25, was shot, beaten and left in a road Saturday and later died from his injuries at a hospital. Sanabria had apparently tried to rob Suarez as he walked home from a Spanish music concert, the sheriff's office and Suarez's brother said.

"He was very proud to be a Marine, and we are proud of him," Pedro Suarez said.

Pedro Suarez said his brother had been in the Marines for four years and signed another four year contract in January. He had recently been reassigned to the Tampa area after returning from Iraq a year ago and working in North Carolina.

Miguel Suarez was the youngest of six siblings. Pedro Suarez said his brother wrote frequently from overseas, even sending sand at one point so his family could have a little piece of where he was.

Funeral services were scheduled for Thursday at St. Joseph's Catholic Church.
