Jones was abducted by a woman and a man in August 2018; days later, her body was found in a burned vacant home in Baltimore, according to the Baltimore City State's Attorney's Office.
Turner-Williams was eventually captured in Philadelphia. He gave a statement admitting to police his involvement in the kidnapping of Jones, but denied killing or setting her on fire.
An investigation, however, confirmed Turner-Williams and Barncord kidnapped, tortured and killed Jones before setting her on fire.
Turner-Williams' accomplice and co-defendant Bobie Barncord goes to trial on March 16, 2020.
A previous version of this story listed Barncord as a man, when in fact, she is a woman. WJZ regrets this error.
