In court Tuesday, the judge said he will consider Zecheriah Presley's request for bond, but that Presley will stay in jail for now.

Presley is accused of shooting and killing Tony Green, 33, following a traffic stop on June 21. Green fled from Presley and Presley pursued him and fired multiple shots at Green and killed him, according to the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. Presley turned himself in days later.

Presley's defense team requested he be out of jail, but a judge said he will consider it. At this time, no real decision has been made, but the judge said he would call both sides when he has decided. No timeframe has been decided.

Presley faces 20 years in prison if convicted.
