Jimmy Bailey, 33, of Derrydowne Court, is charged with first-degree murder in the slaying.
Thirty-one-year-old Angel Pesante-Ventura's body was found off Plank Road September 27. He was first reported missing by family members September 17.
Because the body was found on Fort Bragg, the case was a joint investigation between the Fayetteville Police Department and the U.S. Army C.I.D. - which was the lead investigator.
Detectives said recently discovered evidence shows the murder took place in Fayetteville, and Fayetteville police took over jurisdiction.
Detectives said Pesante-Ventura was staying at the same home with Bailey the night he was killed.
Bailey is being held without bond.
