Suspect in pregnant Gwinnett teen’s murder granted bond

A 20-year-old man suspected of killing his pregnant, 16-year-old ex-girlfriend in Gwinnett County was granted bond Wednesday, though he remains in jail, according to county records.

Jesus Monroy, who is charged with malice murder and other counts, was granted a $56,000 bond at a hearing Wednesday afternoon, Gwinnett court records show. The 20-year-old is accused of killing teenager Mia Campos while she was seven months pregnant on July 15, according to Gwinnett police.

Details about the conditions of Monroy’s bond are not not available in public filings.

Monroy was initially arrested just a few days after Campos was found dead on charges of lying to investigators, police said. The following week, police took out warrants charging Monroy with malice murder, felony murder, feticide and aggravated assault.

When Campos’ body was first found, police could not determine her cause of death. The Gwinnett Medical Examiner’s Office later performed an autopsy and confirmed that her death was a homicide.

Monroy has been held in the Gwinnett jail since his arrest on July 17.
