Shea was in court on Thursday to request a bond.

He was accused of shooting and killing 39-year-old deputy "Ellie" Shea in 2024.

Investigators said Shea tried to establish an alibi through text messages and surveillance video, alleging he hid his actions by telling detectives it was a suicide.

Shea allegedly used Ellie's phone to text his phone so he could make it seem like he was away when she was killed.
