Bond has been set at $2 million for a Kenosha man accused of killing his wife months after she was denied a restraining order.

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.
An amended criminal complaint released Monday added two counts of causing mental harm to a child, entry into a locked building, and obstructing an officer.
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.
