MADISON, Wis. — The suspect in a July east side murder was bound over for trial Tuesday.

Marcius Lee is being held on $1 million bail.

He is facing first-degree homicide charges in connection to the death of Robert Frances, of Portland, Oregon.

Investigators said drugs or drug money were a factor in the crime.

Lee was arrested a few days after the shooting by Chicago police.
