Update 10:30 a.m.:
ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. — Kevin Millares will remain in the Orange County Jail, at least for now.
Judge Gisela Laurent made that decision at Tuesday morning’s court hearing.
Millares’ defense argued that witness descriptions of a shooting suspect were vague.
But a detective with Orange County Sheriff’s Office provided testimony about surveillance video and witness accounts collected after the shooting that investigators say links Millares to the crime.
The judge said, based on testimony, Millares is a possible threat to the community and ordered him to remain locked up without bond.
Original story:
A man accused of shooting a woman in east Orange County last month is making an appearance in court Tuesday.
Investigators say Kevin Millares shot a woman three times as she walked near a bus stop on Egan Drive on June 8.
The woman survived and continues to recover, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office.
Millares was arrested on June 23 in New York in connection to the shooting.
He has since pleaded not guilty and is being held without bond on a charge of attempted murder.
