He was charged with the April 14 killing of Julissa Brisman, a 25-year-old New York City resident who advertised on Craigslist, at the Boston Marriott Copley Place hotel, in the historic Back Bay district.
He has also been charged in a separate robbery at a hotel of another masseuse police say he met through the site.
He has pleaded not guilty. His lawyer, John Salsberg, did not return a phone message Monday.
Markoff was put on suicide watch at the Boston jail where he is being held.
The warrant accuses Markoff of assault with intent to commit robbery, assault with a dangerous weapon, possession of a handgun and using a firearm while committing a crime of violence.
