Judge denies bond for man accused of killing brother

Fairburn police took the suspect in custody Monday. Police had tried to track him down last September.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. - A Fulton County judge denied bond Tuesday to a man accused of murdering his brother last fall.

FOX 5 cameras were rolling as Fairburn Police arrested Nathaniel Delay, 30, on Monday evening.  Officers responded to a call about a fight and found Delay involved in the altercation. He had been wanted since September.

"We've been looking for him for quite a while," Fairburn Police Lt. Lauren Harkins told FOX 5.

During his first court appearance, Delay nodded his head to acknowledge that he understood the charges against him including murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon.

"Based on the charges currently facing you.  I am not going to set a bond today," said Judge Holly Hughes.
