A suspect has been charged in the death of Jessica Chambers, the 19-year-old Mississippi woman burned to death in her small town in December 2014.
Quinton Verdell Tellis, 27, was indicted on capital murder charges by a grand jury in Panola County, The Clarion-Ledger reports. He is already in custody in Louisiana on an unrelated charge.
District Attorney John Champion announced the indictment Wednesday morning, saying Tellis, “was a suspect fairly early in this case. We continued to work on this case for quite a long time. We developed evidence in the fall that really led us to focus pretty seriously on him.”
The grand jury met Monday and Tuesday and returned the indictment.
