(KNSI) — A Benton County judge has set bail at $4 million for the man accused of gunning down a woman who rejected his romantic advances.

Thirty-six-year-old Michael Jordan Carpenter is charged with second-degree murder after allegedly killing 28-year-old Nicole Michelle Hammond in the parking lot of their northeast St. Cloud workplace as she arrived to clock in Monday morning. Investigators say the day before she was killed, Hammond and Carpenter exchanged text messages, and she had told him to leave her alone. Carpenter told investigators that made him upset. Coworkers told investigators he was ill-tempered, and they knew he had been bothering her.

His next court date is November 8th.
