The man accused in a deadly motorcycle crash in Mission has pleaded not guilty to several charges on Tuesday.

Apolonio Perez is facing charges of murder, evading arrest and intoxication manslaughter. During his hearing, Perez's lawyers filed a motion for a bond reduction, but the motion was denied.

The deadly crash occurred on May 3 in the westbound lanes of the Frontage Road near Holland Avenue. A motorcyclist, identified as Perez, collided with another motorcyclist, identified as John Alonso, while attempting to evade a trooper with the Texas Department of Public Safety.

Perez's bond is currently at $3 million. The defense argued that Perez has no criminal history and is a U.S. citizen.

They also claimed Perez was not receiving proper medical treatment for a dislocated shoulder sustained during the crash.

The defense argued that Perez has seen a doctor twice while in jail and has no appointment for an MRI. They also claim he has nerve damage and his right leg can't stand the weight of his body.

The defense said it was cruel and unusual punishment, and if the bond is reduced, Perez will live in La Feria with his sister.

The judge disagreed with the defense and expressed his concern that Perez is a flight risk. He also said he would meet with county jail officials about Perez's medical treatment.

Perez's next hearing is scheduled for Sept. 22.
