On the morning of July 5, 2013, Aaron Ham and his girlfriend Mary Nguyen returned to the apartment they shared with John Newton and found the apartment had been ransacked. They discovered Newton dead on the floor of his bedroom. Newton had been shot multiple times. Defendant Juan Julius Barnes’s fingerprints were found at the scene. Days later, when police were pursuing defendant following a vehicle stop, the pursuing officer observed that defendant was holding a handgun and police retrieved a handgun near where defendant was apprehended. The weapon was later determined to be the murder weapon. Ham and Nguyen identified a mason jar containing marijuana and a pair of Nike Air Jordan sneakers discovered in an apartment connected to defendant as items that had been taken from their apartment.
