Mithovar Christopher Antoine Jr. was arrested in Temple for the 2021 murder of a man in South Austin. He was booked into the Bell County Jail on a $150,000 bond and bonded out. Court records indicate he had bonded out of jail on a burglary charge just two months before the murder. Antoine Jr. was arrested again last week for the deadly stabbing in July 2021 and bonded out of jail four days later. Law enforcement agencies are questioning why the murder suspect is out of jail. The case, involving the stabbing of a 22-year-old, was considered a cold case. An arrest affidavit provided more details on how Antoine Jr. was connected to the crime.
