Judge Denies Bond Reduction For Del Rio Woman Charged In Stabbing Death
Judge Roland Andrade denied a request to lower the bond of Kyandra Renee Faz, 22, charged in the June death of Caroline Pena, according to other local news sources.
DEL RIO, Texas – A state district judge has denied a request to lower the bond of a Del Rio woman charged with murder and tampering with evidence in the June stabbing death of another woman, according to other local news sources.
Kyandra Renee Faz, 22, was back in court on Thursday, Nov. 12, according to those reports. The reports identified the judge as Roland Andrade and said he left her bond unchanged, citing community safety and that Faz was on federal supervised release at the time of the case.
Other local news sources reported that Faz is being held on a $5.1 million bond and that her attorney asked the court to lower it to $150,000, with conditions that could include home confinement and electronic monitoring. The attorney said he planned to appeal the order, according to those reports.
Faz is charged in the June 25 death of Caroline Pena, 32, of Del Rio, according to other local news sources. The reports said Pena was stabbed during an altercation outside a home on East 10th Street, was taken first to Val Verde Regional Medical Center and later died at a San Antonio hospital.
Two other women, identified in earlier reports as Kitty Mia Diaz and Amaya Cookie Diaz, were also charged in the case, according to other local news sources. The Maverick Times has not reviewed a court docket or an official sheriff or prosecutor release for Thursday’s hearing.
Faz is presumed innocent unless and until she is proven guilty in a court of law.
High-dollar bond hearings have also been in the news closer to home. The Maverick Times recently reported that a judge set a $1 million bond for a man accused in a Rosita Valley shooting death.
