He faces first-degree intentional homicide charges in the death of his estranged wife, Makayla Plaza. Court records show Makayla tried to get a restraining order against him in early February. In that petition, she said she had filed multiple police reports regarding his behavior.
During a court hearing Monday, the victim's family made statements before the cash bond was set.
A competency hearing for Plaza is scheduled for May.
