Arlon Watson is due back in Compton Superior Court for arraignment Feb. 9, court staff said.
Watson was was arrested Jan. 27 on outstanding warrants by Los Angeles County Sheriff's
homicide detectives and charged Monday with the May 24, 2009, slaying of 18-year-old Dannie Farber Jr.
Farber, an All-City wide receiver, was shot four times while eating dinner with his girlfriend at Louisiana Fried Chicken in the 1900 block of Rosecrans Avenue.
Watson allegedly approached Farber and asked him his gang affiliation, then shot him after the victim replied that he did not "gang-bang," according to prosecutors.
The criminal complaint includes allegations that Watson personally used and discharged a handgun and that the crime was "committed for the benefit of, at the direction of, and in association with a criminal street gang with the specific intent to promote, further and assist in criminal conduct by gang members."
If convicted, he faces up to 50 years to life in state prison, according to the DA's Office.
His remains in jail in lieu of $2 million bail.

What a waste of life. Two young men have loss their life. A young black girl will be emotionaly scared for life she will see this in her memory while she sleeps for her whole life.
When young men are not raised and trained in Boy Scouts, Pee wee football,or Church. they do not have a moral compass.
With no respect of life they will take yours. No security can redirect young black men value systems. It will take the presence of Black fatherhood to stepup and handle our busness. 70% of families in the Black comunity are with out the presence of Dads.
Asian familys don't bury their young they educate them.
Gangs and hip hop video and training our men, so they in up in prison, not in colleges.
Goverment can't teachers can't Police can't.
A church going provider, educated, commited Black man can stop this death of our Kids.
