A judge denied a bond reduction for the man accused of killing his ex-girlfriend, dumping her body in the trunk of her car, and then confessing to police.
Ariel Cruz is charged with murder in the death of 21-year-old Idania Maria Campos Muñoz, a Lamar High School graduate who was attending Houston Community College.
Officials believe Campos was killed at a separate location and then left in her car at the location it was found since no shell casings found, police said.
