One year after authorities say a road-rage shooting killed 6-year-old Aiden Leos while he was being driven to school on the 55 Freeway in Orange, the man accused of shooting the boy was still in jail, while the suspected driver of the car was out on bail.

In late March, a judge ruled that enough evidence existed to have Marcus Anthony Eriz, 25, stand trial on charges of second-degree murder and shooting at an inhabited dwelling or vehicle.

Wynne Lee, 23, suspected of driving the car, was ordered to stand trial on a charge of being an accessory after the fact.

Eriz faces a possible maximum sentence of 40 years to life in prison, while Lee faces a possible maximum sentence of four years in prison, prosecutors have said.

The couple was arrested a little more than two weeks after the shooting at their Costa Mesa apartment.

Following the preliminary hearing in March, they again pleaded not guilty, in April, to the charges they face, according to court records.

A trial date had not yet been set. Eriz and Lee were scheduled to make their next court appearances on June 27.
