TEEN ACCUSED OF SHOOTING HIS GIRLFRIEND, DIAMOND ALVAREZ, 22 TIMES IS BACK IN CUSTODY
The 17-year-old boyfriend of a teen girl who was shot 22 times and killed in southwest Houston has violated his bond requirements and is back in custody, records show.
Houston investigators believe 15-year-old Diamond Alvarez was gunned down in her neighborhood park on Jan. 11 by her boyfriend, 17-year-old Frank DeLeon Jr., after she found out he was cheating, according to court documents.
In court, prosecutors said that when officers arrested Deleon, a suitcase was found in his room, packed with enough belongings for more than an overnight trip.
Deleon posted his $250,000 bond on Jan. 19 after being charged with Alvarez's murder, according to court records.

Not too bright to violate your curfew after posting bond.
It does bring up the question of should he have been given bond? He had a history of violence but it isn't clear if he was charged/ convicted. OTOH we have seen people who killed on recorded video who were granted bond.
How grey is the line between innocent until proven guilty and dangerous to the public
