PIKEVILLE, Ky. (WMDJ) — A Pike County man charged in a deadly April shooting appeared before a judge Tuesday.

Paul Coleman, 57, is charged with manslaughter in connection with the April 5 shooting death of 30-year-old Greely Brandon Hurley. According to Kentucky State Police, Hurley died from gunshot wounds after a physical altercation with Coleman and was pronounced dead at Tug Valley ARH Medical Center.

Court records show Coleman turned himself in to the Pike County Sheriff’s Office on Monday after investigators obtained a warrant for his arrest.

During Tuesday’s hearing, special prosecutor Tony Skeans asked the court to keep Coleman held on the existing $250,000 cash bond and requested a no-contact order involving Hurley’s family. Coleman’s attorney asked the court to lower the bond and also requested that Coleman be moved to the Letcher County Jail due to the nature of the case.

Judge Eddy Coleman said he would review any formal motion to reduce the bond. He also noted that a transfer to another jail may depend on whether another county is willing to house a Pike County inmate.

The case remains active as the court considers the pending bond and housing requests.
