Markale Hart was indicted by a grand jury in the shooting death of Jakell Mitchell, freshman football player for Auburn University, last week.
Mitchell was murdered at a party at Tiger Lodge apartment complex in December 2014.
According to police, Hart and Mitchell exchanged gunfire at the gathering.
According to the indictment document, witnesses at the scene said they saw Hart shoot Mitchell during an altercation between Mitchell and Hart's associate.
Police said they discovered Mitchell in a car a short distance from the scene suffering from apparent multiple gunshot wounds. He later died at East Alabama Medical Center.
Hart's bond was set at $50,000 last week.
Tiger Lodge has been the site of multiple slayings. Three men, including two Auburn football players, were fatally shot at the complex, then called University Heights, in 2012. Desmonte Leonard was sentenced to life without parole for their murders in January and has since filed an appeal.
