Odell was found dead in his home in Franklin County on March 29, 2021.
A few days later, authorities identified Jones as a person of interest in the case.
“It was a senseless act that had no personal gain in it whatsoever. Nothing that can be done is going to bring him back or make things right,” Justin O’Dell told 10 News months ago, regarding his father’s death.
Jones’ girlfriend watched him kill Odell, according to warrants.
Jones is now being held at the Roanoke City Jail without bond.
