GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — The family of a pregnant Loganville teen killed in July is reacting to the news a judge granted bond to her ex-boyfriend, who's charged with murder.
16-year-old Mia Campos was seven months pregnant when they found her dead in the woods just minutes from her home. Her ex-boyfriend, 20-year-old Jesus Monroy, was charged with murder days later.
Campos' family was in the room when a $50,000 bond was set with conditions. They say the defense asked for $75,000, but the judge lowered the amount.
"I was really disappointed by how things went today. It's just a slap in my face for my daughter to be 16-years-old and baby to be 7 months? I mean come on. I thought at least she would double it. It's two lives lost. Not just one," Eduardo Campos said.
The pain he feels after the loss of his 16-year-old daughter grows every single day.
"If the judge can't see that, then I don't know what to say. I understand this is just the first step in this process," Campos said. "I love my daughter, and I miss her. I would tell her don't worry justice is coming."
His message to his daughter is the same as his wife's, who was also in the courtroom Wednesday. They know they're fighting a battle that's ultimately in the court's hands.

"I won't rest until I get justice for my daughter and grandson. That's all I want. I just want justice because we know he did it," Miriam Zarate, Mia's mom, said.
The last time Mia was seen was on July 14 on a doorbell camera that captured her leaving the home alone. Hours later, her body was found in the woods. The family said Monroy helped them search for Mia.
"I knew he was guilty that day," Campos said. "He didn't even cry for her son, so to that point you're guilty because he didn't want it from the beginning."
Monroy was first arrested for lying to police after Mia's body was found. Days later, Gwinnett Police charged him with malice murder, felony murder, feticide and aggravated assault.
"I have no hate or anger, but I feel deceived by him. Very cheated by him and his actions towards us that night and now. His family started laughing when a bond was set," Zarate said.
Now, the family and Mia's friends just want the community's support, so they've started a social media page to fight for justice.
"I just want everyone to help us and support my daughter and grandson. We need support to show the judge that we have the support from the community," Campos said.
"I'm gonna get justice," Campos said. "I'm gonna get justice because I feel 100% (he did it)."
Monroy bonded out of jail early morning Thursday. There are conditions for his release. Superior Court Judge Karen E. Beyers ordered Monroy to stay at home with an ankle monitor. He's ordered to have no contact with potential witnesses in the case and had to surrender his passport after court Wednesday.
