(CNN) — One week after a 9-year-old girl's body was found in a duffel bag, Los Angeles County officials have charged a man with murder.

Emiel Lamar Hunt, 39, was charged Tuesday in the death of Trinity Love Jones. Trinity's body was found March 5 in light brush near an equestrian trail in Hacienda Heights.

Authorities believe Hunt killed Trinity on or around March 1, the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office said. Officials have not released a possible motive.
