Weeks is accused of murdering Neil Brower, 35, whose body was found in a truck parked in Evansville last Tuesday after passersby reported a foul odor, officials said.

Until recently Weeks worked for Brower, a vendor who was selling T-shirts at a Harley-Davidson convention in Evansville, police said.

Last week, Brower fired Weeks and another man, officials said. Police believe both men were involved in the killing. The other man is already in custody in Indiana, officials said.
