GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — A man charged with murdering a 16-year-old and her unborn child is out on bond for a lower amount than his attorney requested.
Jesus Monroy is accused of killing 16-year-old Mia Campos while she was seven months pregnant. Jail records show Monroy posted a $56,000 bond. Channel 2 Action News camera was there as he was released from the jail just after midnight Thursday.
“It’s getting worse and worse,” Edward Campos.
Time has not healed the hole in his heart a month and a half later after his daughter was murdered.
“Now you can see her room, and it’s just an empty box,” he told Doudna.
Back on July 14, Mia Campos is seen leaving her home after telling family members she is meeting her unborn child’s father Jesus Monroy. Hours later, her father found her body dumped in nearby woods.
Mia would have given birth to her son, Sebastian, next week.
“Now I don’t have my grandchild, and now I don’t have my daughter,” Edward Campos said.
Authorities charged Monroy with four felonies, including felony murder. But in his bond hearing Wednesday, Monroy learned he would be going home.
