An investigation led police to Depriest, who was arrested during a SWAT standoff Saturday night.
During an interview, Depriest told police he was asleep on the couch inside the home when he was woken up to “an unwelcomed advance” and stabbed Hubert.
Depriest said that after Hubert fell to the ground, he placed his bloody clothing into a backpack that belonged to Hubert.
He then took the cell phones of the victim and the victim’s girlfriend, who was asleep upstairs, according to court documents.
Ring cameras captured Depriest leaving the home wearing Hubert’s jacket.
