Darrell Simmons is accused of choking Richard Melton until he broke his neck last week.
Police originally thought Melton was killed when his ex-girlfriend, Thelina Kincaid, beat him with a baseball bat in self-defense, but after an autopsy it was determined that Melton was choked to death.
Investigators believe Simmons and Kincaid tried to cover it up the murder by beating Melton with the bat.
