SANTA ANA - A Costa Mesa man charged with the murder of a 6-year-old boy in a road rage incident was ordered held without bail Friday.

Orange County Superior Court Judge Larry Yellin told attorneys that in addition to the murder charge he was alarmed by an allegation that Marcus Eriz, 24, also brandished a weapon in a second incident.

“It seems to me that Mr. Eriz is a complete danger to the community,” Yellin said.

Eriz and his girlfriend entered not-guilty pleas through their attorneys, KTLA TV news reported.

The girlfriend, 23-year-old Wynne Lee, is charged with being an accessory after the fact.

The defense asked that her bail be set at $50,000 while the prosecution insisted on $500,000. The judge deferred pending an evaluation of Lee.

Aiden Leos, 6, was shot to death May 21st while riding in his mother’s car on the 55 Freeway in Orange.
