Matthew Simms was jailed on $500,000 bond.
Halifax County Sheriff Wes Tripp said in a statement this morning Simms failed to appear for his June 12 court date in the 2015 murder of Jarshamel Cambridge.
A felony probation violation was issued in May for possession of a weapon by a convicted felon.
State court records show Simms has a superior court date of September 18 on the charges.
Cambridge was killed in July of 2015 and several people were arrested by the Halifax County Sheriff’s Office.
Tripp at the time said the Cambridge murder was tied to gang activity but there was no evidence to tie Cambridge, 20 at the time of his death, to gang activity.
