As News Center 7 previously reported, U.S. Marshals tracked Cunigan down in Cleveland, two months after police say he killed his ex-girlfriend Precious Taste and 16-year-old Deante Johnson.

The shooting happened in May in the 1400 block of Shaftsbury Road.

The 16-year-old’s mother was inside this courtroom Tuesday when Cunigan made his first appearance by way of video.

“Because I wanted to see him. I wanted to see the person my son saw last,” said Jennifer Louis.

Louis said it was tough to hear Cunigan be given a $1 million bond. She wished he was held without chance of making bail.

“Y’all just basically giving him a chance, he doesn’t need a chance, he didn’t give them a chance,” she said.
