Both men are charged with murder and burglary, and Jesse McCartney faces additional charges of robbery and possession of cocaine and marijuana, online court records state.
Witnesses told investigators that Pittman was shot in the chest after she went to confront intruders who had kicked in the door of her home, court documents said. The intruders then searched the home for drugs, investigators said.

Two brothers are facing charges for their involvement in a decade-old slaying in Kokomo.
The break in the case came last December when a witness told detectives that she and Jesse McCartney drove to Pittman’s home, where Joey McCartney met his brother, the brothers went inside and she heard a loud bang before the brothers ran outside with Jesse McCartney carrying a bag of marijuana and a handful of money.
The woman told investigators she didn't come forward sooner out of fear.
The McCartneys are being held without bond and face initial hearings this week.
A phone message seeking comment was left for Jesse McCartney’s attorney. Court records did not list an attorney for Joey McCartney.
