A Houston judge this morning said he was concerned about future violence when he raised the bond for a father who allegedly shot and killed his teenage son during an argument over a video game Sunday.

State District Judge Marc Carter doubled the bond to $100,000 for Ofelio Antonio Otero, 40, during an initial appearance today.

“What I’m concerned about is the violence,” Carter said in response to questions from Otero’s lawyer, Rudy Duarte, about lowering the bond.

Carter also agreed with prosecutor Martina Longoria that Otero should be prohibited from returning to his home or contacting family members who are witnesses if he does make bail.

Police said Otero surrendered Sunday after a brief standoff with SWAT officers at a southwest Houston apartment.

Otero had been drinking heavily when he began arguing with his wife over the whereabouts of a missing video game around 4:15 a.m. at the family’s home in the 7700 block of Corporate Drive, Houston Police Department spokeswoman Jodi Silva said.

Otero then started fighting with 17-year-old Ignacio A. Otero about the game. During the argument, he loaded his gun, authorities said.

“The son then proceeds to try and knock the gun away and then he runs away,“ Silva said.

As the teen was running, the father allegedly fired one shot, striking his son in the neck.

The boy died at the scene and the father ran away.

Police found Otero at an apartment complex about 2½ miles away in the 9000 block of Town Park. After a three-hour standoff with the HPD SWAT team, Otero surrendered to police at 11 a.m., Silva said.

Otero, who is facing a murder charge, has a prior criminal history in Harris County that includes a DWI conviction.
