Stewart was found shot to death Dec. 23 in his Downing Drive home with a 23-year-old woman who was also shot.

Police have not said what led to the shooting, only that there was a party at the house when the shooting happened.

Jones was initially only charged with possession of a gun by a convicted felon, but investigators later determined he was the person who they believe shot Stewart, officials said.
