A state district judge Friday refused to lower the bond of a Cameron County man being held on a murder charge.

Kevin Robert Broussard appeared Friday before 357 state District Court Judge Juan Magallanes, who declined his attempt to get his bond lowered.

Broussard remains jailed at a Cameron County facility on an $800,000 bond.

He is accused in a November homicide that occurred in Cameron Park.

Cameron County Sheriff’s Department deputies responded to Avenida Florencia at about 11:41 p.m. on Nov. 5 in reference to a man calling the sheriff’s department to say he had been shot, Sheriff Eric Garza said on his social media page.

The deputies arrived in Cameron Park and started to look around for Victor Medina, the injured man, because he did not provide them with a location as to where he was.

At 12:03 a.m. on Nov. 6, the Brownsville Fire Department found Medina. He was sitting inside a vehicle that was still in drive and had only come to a stop after colliding with a fence near El Centro Cultural in Cameron Park, Garza said.

Medina died from the gunshot injury he received.
