HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The man who is facing three capital murder charges after being accused of killing three members of the same family last week was not given a bond.
Over the weekend, a judge denied bond for 28-year-old Xavier Davis in relation to the shooting death of a 6-year-old & her family.
"There is a risk to community safety," said the judge. "The bond amounts as stated are necessary & reasonable to ensure safety of the community & prevent flight from prosecution."
Davis was arrested last Thursday in an unrelated family violence charge, authorities said.
He is accused of shooting Harmony Carhee, 6, & her parents, Donyavia Lagway & Gregory Carhee, in their Fondren Road apartment last Wednesday night. Harmony's 10-year-old sister was also shot, but she played dead during the rampage before using FaceTime to call her grandmother.
The 10-year-old was released from the hospital on Friday & is recovering from her injuries. She told police the man believed to be Davis knocked on the door of the apartment before the rampage.
He had a mask on & grabbed her 1-year-old baby brother by the hair & threw him, the little girl told police. He then shot the victims in the head.
She said she played dead & when the killer left, she got her brother & locked the door.
Davis has been charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon in the 10-year-old's shooting.
Even if Davis does make bond, the judge has essentially ordered him to be under 24-hour house arrest. He is expected to have a GPS monitor installed within five calendar days.
The judge also ordered that Davis is not to go within 200 feet of 12101 Fondren Road.
"I'm purposefully not putting an apartment number in there," the judge said. "I want him to stay away from the apartment complex."
He did not appear in court Sunday due to medical reasons, but he is expected to be in court Tuesday.
