New details have been released in the case of an 11-year-old boy who police say was killed while playing “ding dong ditch” in Houston on Saturday.

Gonzalo Leon Jr., 42, was booked into jail on Tuesday morning and charged with one count of murder, according to police .

He was ordered to be held on US$1-million bond after prosecutors said they were considering bringing more serious charges against him, according to the Houston Chronicle .

Leon made his first appearance in front of District Judge Emily Detoto on Wednesday morning, when she set his bond at $1 million.

Detoto said she set the bond at that amount because of the possibility that more serious charges could be brought against Leon, including capital murder. His next court date is in October.
