A new bond hearing has been set for a man charged with the murder of Jimmie "Jay" Lee, according to the Oxford Police Department. 

Timothy Herrington, 22, a recent Ole Miss graduate from Grenada, who was arrested and charged with Lee's murder on July 22, was originally scheduled for a July 27 hearing. However it was rescheduled for Tuesday, Aug. 9, the Oxford Police said in a statement.

Lee, went missing July 8, and had been last seen leaving Campus Walk Apartments in Oxford early that morning. He was driving his 2014 Black Ford Fusion with a custom "JAYLEE1" license plate and wearing "a silver robe or housecoat, gold sleeping cap and gray slippers," according to a university press release. The vehicle was later found at another apartment complex.

Officials still have not located Lee's body and Herrington's attorney maintains his client's innocence.

A time has not been set for the Aug. 9 hearing, officials said.

"Although he has been charged with a serious crime, he is presumed innocent. We will vigorously defend him and look forward to clearing his good name," Grenada-based attorney Carlos Moore said on Facebook.

Moore is an attorney with The Cochran Firm and is president of the National Bar Association.

Lee was a well-known member of the LGBTQ community in Oxford, as well as in his hometown of Jackson, according to previous reporting.
