Tamara McLoyd, 18, remains behind bars on a $5.5 million bail. She's accused of murder, armed robberies, arson for setting her aunt's car on fire, and armed home invasion in an assortment of crimes across the Cleveland area. Last month, prosecutors decided not to seek the death penalty for Bartek's killing. (cleveland.com)
