(CROCKETT COUNTY, Tenn.) — A Tennessee judge ordered no bond Sunday for a 21-year-old youth pastor accused of murdering his fiancée.

Investigators believe Charles Pittman shot 21-year-old Olivia Grenlee on the campus of Union University and tried to make the incident look like a suicide. Both Pittman and Grenlee were students of the Christian university.

Grenlee was found dead in the driver’s seat of her car on Feb. 12.

Pittman was a youth and children’s minister at Providence Baptist Church, according to ABC affiliate WBBJ. The church’s reverend did not hold a service on Sunday night due to Pittman’s alleged involvement. The organization’s representatives said he was suspended pending the outcome of he case.

Reverend Randy Kellough released a statement Sunday saying the church is praying for all parties involved, WWBJ reports.
