An Ohio judge has set $5 million bond for a man accused of having shot and killed his father, sister and nephew as well as another man and critically wounded an 8-year-old girl in a Cleveland home last week.

Cleveland Municipal Judge Charles Patton set the bond Tuesday for 41-year-old Martin Muniz, who pleaded not guilty to aggravated murder and felony assault charges.

Cleveland police alleged in a criminal affidavit filed in support of the charges that Muniz shot each of the victims in the head Friday night in a different room in the Brooklyn Centre neighborhood home a few miles southwest of downtown.
