Jacsaint and Brayboy knew each other, detectives said, and on the night of her murder, they had been together at different times during the night.
Detectives say Jacsaint had put his cellphone on airplane mode during the murder.
Jacsaint appeared in bond court Thursday with his private attorney, who announced that he will be asking for a special court hearing to see if he can get Jacsaint out of jail on bond or on another conditional release until his trial gets underway.
