YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA) – The suspect accused of killing his own brother was back in court Tuesday.
Their father shares his reaction with us for the first time.
19-year-old Juan Figueroa is accused of running over his 17-year old brother, Javier Figueroa.
This happened after police say they got into a road rage fight with another person on Saturday night right by the Starbucks parking lot on Fourth Avenue and 15th Street.
During court, the judge denied to lower the bond amount, keeping it at $500,000.
We spoke with the father of the two brothers, Joseph Figueroa, who describes the devastation their family is going through.
“We’re just heartbroken, I mean my son, well he’s gone. I didn’t get to see him, my other one’s detained, I can’t see him. Right now, we all just need to be together as a family,” said Figueroa.
