Fourth District Court Judge Timothy O'Grady has made his ruling in the request for a change of venue for Kevin Staley.
The motion was filed by Staley's attorney, DeShawne Bird-Sell on Oct. 31. Staley faces a charge of voluntary manslaughter in the shooting death of Devin Davis of Villisca on Oct. 31.
A hearing on the change of venue request was held Nov. 13 in Montgomery County Court. O'Grady advised he would consider the motion, and examine the 50 pages of material presented during the hearing.
On Tuesday, an order was filed by O'Grady that the change of venue request was overruled.
A jury trial has been set for January 19.
