Michael Bowles, 20, appeared in court a day after being arrested in the death of the missing Columbus teen.

After nearly a two-week search, Stewart’s family said his body was found in a wooded area off Sunbury Road in northeast Columbus Tuesday evening. Police have not publicly confirmed whether the teen’s body was found but are working with the Franklin County Coroner’s Office to confirm the identity.

A struggle ensued and Michael shot Stewart, according to court records.
At Thursday's court hearing, the judge ordered Michael to stay away from the individuals involved in the case. His next court date is scheduled for Oct. 13. The other suspects arrested in connection with the case are facing charges ranging from murder to tampering with evidence.
