A man has been indicted in the murder of Jessica Chambers, the Mississippi teen whose burned body was found in December 2014.

Quinton Tellis, 27, was indicted on capital murder charges while he sat in a Louisiana jail. He is being held in Louisiana on charges relating to the 2015 death of an exchange student at the University of Louisiana Monroe.

The student, Meing-Chen Hsiao, from Taiwan, was stabbed to death and found in her apartment last August. Although Tellis has not been charged with the student's murder, he has admitted to using her debit card after her death. He was charged with three counts of unauthorized use of a debit card, using her card for $1,000.

Tellis was also charged with with one count of possession of marijuana with intent to distribute. Police said Tellis admitted to selling the drug.

Bail was set at $200,000 for the drug and debit card charges.

Tellis and Chambers,19 at the same of her death, went to the same high school and lived near each other. The Clarion-Ledger reported that the two allegedly had a relationship before Chambers was killed.

On the night of her death, Chambers was doused with a flammable liquid and left with 98 percent of her body burned. She was found walking in the rural town of Courtland from her car, which was also on fire. She died at a Tennessee hospital hours later.

According to investigators with the Mississippi Association of Gang Investigatiors, Tellis has gang affiliations. He has made multiple Facebook posts about the Insane Vice Lords, a popular street gang. Investigators said that he has a tattoo indicating gang affiliation, uses jargon associated with street gangs, and often wears red- the Vice Lords' trademark color.

Police do not believe Chambers' killing is gang-related. When the teen, from Courtland, was killed, many local gangs expressed to her family and to the police that they were not involved in her death, according to The Clarion-Ledger.
