Jacob Carreon-Hamilton, 20, was charged with assisting a criminal, abuse of a corpse and resisting law enforcement in the death of Shane Nguyen.
Police found Nguyen’s body in black plastic trash bags in his van April 25, two days after he was reported missing, an affidavit said. An autopsy determined Nguyen died from blows to his head.
