He's the older sister's ex-boyfriend and the last person to see her alive, long suspected according to his own attorney: http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/crime/blog/bal-arrest-in-phylicia-barnes-murder-20120425,0,3064964.story

WJZ had something about it at the top of the hour. But now they're running something on Jann Wenner (Don Scott just called him "Jane.") ... WBAL has Rosie O'Donnell talking about Lindsay Lohan playing Elizabeth Taylor. PBS is playing Curious George, and the Deuce is talking about Kate and William, "the romantic royals".
