One suspect strikes a deal -- a new suspect is arrested
James Edwards Jr., the youngest of the suspects, struck a deal with the state in exchange for his testimony (don't have the details regarding the deal).
And, yesterday, Oddesse Barnes (pic below) was arrested on accessory-after-the-fact charges.

According to court papers, prosecutors are interested in Barnes because he kept officers from finding a key piece of evidence, the murder weapon.
On Friday, Barnes admitted to concealing the .22 caliber gun. A probable cause affidavit showed Barnes said Luna and his co-defendant, Michael Jones, handed off the murder weapon after the shooting last August.
Barnes indicated to investigators that Luna appeared jumpy and full of adrenaline, so he took the gun from Luna so that nothing bad would happen.
Barnes allegedly dropped the revolver into some tall grass near his home at the Elm Terrace Apartments, and the gun has not been seen since.
He was arraigned for accessory to murder after the fact in Stephens County. His bond is set at $150,000.
