Man already charged with capital murder faces additional aggravated assault charge

HOUSTON – The man accused of killing a pregnant woman and assaulting her boyfriend appeared in court on Monday on new charges.

Jeffree Burks is charged with aggravated assault stemming from an incident that left Amber Flores, 19, dead and her boyfriend injured.

A judge granted Burks a $100,000 bond for the aggravated assault charge.
