ORLANDO (CBSMiami/AP) — A man serving a life sentence for murder could be facing the death penalty after a central Florida state attorney filed notice that his office will seek the change.

Ninth District State Attorney Jeff Ashton's office filed a notice of intent on Friday in the case of Demorris Andy Hunter. Hunter is charged with first-degree murder in the death of Teresa Ann Green. Green was reported missed from her Orlando home on May 27, 2002, and found dead that evening in the trunk of her car.

Hunter is currently serving a life sentence in a March 2002 death of an Oakland, California woman. He was extradited from a California prison last week to Orange County.

No future court date has been set.
