Deputies responded to the intersection of Herbert and Christopher streets in West Augustine on Nov. 16, 2018, where they found Durden shot and killed.
A St. Johns County grand jury returned an indictment against Calloway last week, leading to his arrest. At the time, Calloway was already incarcerated, serving an eight-year prison sentence on unrelated charges.
