Satterfield was found shot in the skull, covered in concrete mix with a 6-inch piece of wood lodged in the back of his throat in March 2021.
DNA evidence linked Wallick Thompson to the murder in February 2022. Records say samples were pulled from the victim's wallet, a beer can, and a broken wooden stick on the scene - noting that a 6-inch piece of wood was lodged in the victim's throat.
The evidence "strongly supported" that Thompson was a contributor. But still, no charges were filed.

Then in November 2023, more DNA evidence came through, showing that samples from the victim's hands and vehicle "strongly supported" DNA samples from Thompson.
Charges were finally filed shortly after, nearly three years after the killing.
There's no word yet on when Thompson will appear before a judge.
