Bond has been set for a reputed Zeta and Mexican Mafia hit man captured by U.S. Marshals and Mexican authorities.

Joseph Allen Garcia, of Laredo, is being held on more than a million dollar bond.

Garcia was on the run for four years and was believed to be hiding in the Valley. 

Last week, they captured Garcia in Reynosa.  He was extradited back to the United States, so he could face multiple charges in Webb County.

A Webb County Judge set bond at $1,270,000 dollars.

Here is a list of charges and the bond for each count:
  
Murder and Attempted Murder $500,000
Aggravated Assault (3 counts) $250,000 each count
Assault causing bodily injury  $10,000
Possession of marijuana charge $10,000
