ORLANDO, Fla. \u2014 The man accused of shooting and killing another man outside a popular Orlando nightclub has bonded out of jail.<\/p>\n

Jean Borja, 37, left the Orange County Jail shortly before 5 a.m. Tuesday after satisfying his $75,000 bond.<\/p>\n

A judge set that bond Monday afternoon during a hearing involving the case.<\/p>\n

Borja has been jailed since the Feb. 22 shooting outside Savoy nightclub on North Orange Avenue in Orlando\u2019s Ivanhoe Village.<\/p>\n

He faces a charge of second degree murder with a firearm in connection to the shooting death of Julien Cruz, 33.<\/p>\n

Borja\u2019s attorney, Mark O\u2019Mara, has said Borja pulled the trigger, killing Cruz, but said he\u2019s building a case that his client acted in self-defense when he opened fire.<\/p>\n

O\u2019Mara said a Stand Your Ground hearing will likely happen in the coming months, where he could argue to dismiss Borja\u2019s case completely.<\/p>\n

At Monday\u2019s court hearing, video evidence was shown<\/a> of the confrontation between the men. <\/p>\n
