Killeen murder suspect who had bail set at $4 billion back in jail
NOLANVILLE — The Killeen man who became infamous after a $4 billion bail was set for him by a now-replaced Bell County justice of the peace was arrested again Tuesday night.
Antonio Marquis Willis, 27, was captured by the Nolanville Police Department after he fled from a traffic stop, Police Chief Dan Porter told FME News Service.
Willis, who was in the Bell County Jail on Wednesday, was charged in December 2017 with murder after he was accused of shooting and killing Donte Javon Samuels, 22, on Dec. 22, 2017. Samuels was found dead in his front yard.
