ORLANDO, Fla. \u2013 Surveillance video capturing a fatal shooting outside an Orlando nightclub last weekend<\/a> will be shown in court Monday, defense attorney Mark O\u2019Mara told News 6.<\/p>\n

Last week, Jean Gabriel Borja Gil De La Madr was charged with second-degree murder in the shooting death of 33-year-old Julien Cruz. Days later, he retained O\u2019Mara as his attorney<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously there\u2019s a lot to get ready for,\u201d O\u2019Mara said Sunday. \u201cWe have gotten a lot of discovery in from the state over the weekend, so we have a feel for what\u2019s going on.\u201d<\/p>\n

O\u2019Mara spoke to News 6 outside the Orange County Jail, where he was preparing to visit Borja Gil De La Madr ahead of a court hearing scheduled for Monday.<\/p>\n

The hearing is expected to address a motion O\u2019Mara filed asking the judge in the case to set a bond for his client.<\/p>\n

In the motion, O\u2019Mara wrote that Borja Gil De La Madr \u201cposes no probability of danger to the community in which he lives, should he be released on bond.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a press release after Borja Gil De La Madr\u2019s arrest, Orlando Police said the agency\u2019s investigation revealed a verbal and physical altercation preceded the shooting outside Savoy Orlando, a nightclub on North Orange Avenue.<\/p>\n

\u201cDuring the dispute, the suspect retrieved a firearm from his vehicle and shot the victim,\u201d the release stated.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Mara does not dispute that his client shot Cruz, but rather, he contends the shooting may have constituted an act of self-defense.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs you\u2019ll see in the video tomorrow, there was no aggression in the way my guy approached him,\u201d O\u2019Mara said.<\/p>\n

The video, O\u2019Mara said, is a nearby business\u2019s surveillance footage that appeared to capture the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think most compelling is one quite grainy video of the actual event,\u201d O\u2019Mara said.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Mara said he was unable to release the footage prior to Monday\u2019s hearing.<\/p>\n
