Kimbrady Carriker was held on all charges following a preliminary hearing on Tuesday.
This decision comes months after Carriker was found unfit to stand trial and ordered by a court-appointed psychiatrist to undergo 60 days of inpatient mental health treatment.
The 40-year-old is accused of shooting eight people and killing five of them back in July of 2023.
Carriker allegedly killed his first victim, Joseph Wamah, on July 2 before killing four others the following day.
The victims killed in the July 3 attack include DaJuan Brown, 15; Lashyd Merritt, 21; Dymire Stanton, 29; and Ralph Moralis, 59.
A 13-year-old and 2-year-old also suffered gunshot wounds and two others, including a 2-year-old, suffered wounds from shattered glass, police said.
Carriker's next court date is set for April 9.
