RALEIGH (WTVD) -- Raleigh police have charged and arrested four people in connection with the death of 17-year-old Veronica Baker.



Wednesday morning, Raleigh police told ABC11 that 17-year-old Devin Cordell Jones was in custody on murder charges. Jones' picture has not been released at this time.



Warrants showed that three other people had been arrested for trying to drive Jones out of the state to avoid arrest.



Those three, Keyshara Michelle Deans, 19, Nezyiha Zamir Collins, 19, and Tyreek Qumay Rogers, 18, were arrested and charged with felony accessory after the fact to murder.



In court on Wednesday, Collins and Rogers were given $500,000 bond. The judge said they could face up to 19 years in prison if convicted.



Deans was given $1 million bond because she already had previous charges against her related to an incident on June 22. In addition to the felony accessory after the fact to murder charge, she's also facing charges of felony attempting to obtain property by false pretenses, misdemeanor possession of stolen goods, felony financial card theft, misdemeanor contributing to delinquency of juvenile, misdemeanor conspiracy and financial card fraud.
