An Aurora man was ordered held in lieu of $2 million bail Wednesday for the murder of a 68-year-old man who was found beaten to death earlier this month in his west suburban home.

Prosecutors said Lara-Giron then stole Nevarez's pick-up truck as well as his credit cards, which he then used at several locations.
