Following a three-week investigation, the Tulare County District Attorney’s Office has filed murder, arson, and robbery charges in the death of a female employee at a massage spa.
The charged man is Jacoby Jackson, 32, of Tulare. Authorities apprehended him on April 18 in Stanislaus County and returned him to Tulare County, the DA’s office said in a news release on Wednesday.
Jackson, who has previous criminal convictions, is being held without bail. He entered a not-guilty plea at his arraignment on Monday and is scheduled to return to court for a preliminary hearing on May 11.
