Monroy faces multiple charges in the murder of 16-year-old Mia Campos last summer. He was 20 at the time of her death and was the father of the child.
A different judge had granted him $50,000 bond in August, but it was revoked when new charges were added earlier this year. With the new $150,000 bond, Monroy will have to follow the same terms as the previous order:
He cannot have any contact with the family of the alleged victim nor any witness in the case
He must stay at home under house arrest and can only leave his home to attend medical appointments or meet with his attorneys.
He must wear a GPS ankle monitor and the GPS monitoring company will immediately notified the DA's office if there are any violations.
Channel 2 Gwinnett County Bureau Chief Matt Johnson reached out to the DA's Office on Friday morning for a statement.
