When officials announced Coup’s body had been found on Tuesday, they added that John Jacob Martin had been charged with felony murder.

Investigators now say a second man, Andrew Codi Davis, has also been arrested and charged with malice murder.

Martin’s charges have been upgraded from felony murder to malice murder.
