Kepler Released From Jail on Bond

KWGS News

 

A veteran Tulsa police officer, charged in the off-duty fatal shooting of his daughter's boyfriend, in out of jail on a bond of $825,000.

Judge Cliff Smith set Shannon Kepler's bond for a first-degree murder charge at $750,000 and $75,000 for a charge of shooting with intent to kill.

The state had asked for a bond of $1.5 million. Kepler's attorney said at the hearing that bond should be "under $50,000."

Kepler pleaded not guilty earlier this week in the August 5th shooting death of 19-year-old Jeremy Lake. Kepler has been held without bond since the shooting, and his case is set for a preliminary hearing on October 22nd.

Prosecutors allege Kepler shot Lake after Lake introduced himself as the daughter's boyfriend.
