Father accused of killing his son is released from jail

ORLANDO -- 

The former Orlando Police Officer accused of killing his own son is out of jail.

Tim Davis Sr. was released from Orange County jail Saturday. He came out of the jail in a wheelchair, due to injuries he suffered during the altercation with his son. He did not talk to reporters as he got into an SUV.

Davis Sr. was at the bond hearing Friday. He paid a $100,000 bond. 

Deputies said Davis Sr. shot his 22-year-old son Tim Davis Jr. on Oct. 1.

In newly released surveillance video outside the Davis home the morning of the shooting, Davis Sr. was seen reaching into his car then coming out holding a gun. From there, you see Davis Jr. pushing his father away. Deputies said the shooting happened moments later.

Police said the two got into an argument about Davis Jr. taking custody of his own child. When the argument turned physical, Davis Sr. got his gun.

Davis Sr. admitted to pulling the trigger. His attorneys said it was in self-defense.

Davis Sr. will be confined to his home. He'll have to wear an electronic monitoring device. There will be no weapons allowed in the home. Orange County Corrections officers searched the house Friday night to ensure that no weapons are present.
