A former FSU student accused of accidentally shooting and killing a friend is now back behind bars after a judge revoked his bond.
Evan Wilhelm was arrested for manslaughter earlier this year in the death of Ashley Cowie.
Cowie was killed by a shotgun blast at a Heritge Grove apartment in January 2011.
According to court records, Wilhelm called Cowie's sister four times despite a court order that barred him from calling her or any other family members.
Court records show prosecutors subpoenaed Cowie's phone records and Wilhelm's employment records. Court records show Wilhelm was making those calls from the his job at Goodwill.
Court records say Amy Cowie did not answer three calls from Wilhelm on June 20th but did answer his call on June 21st. That's when she called the state attorney's office. Prosecutor John Hutchins would not comment on the content of that conversation.
The judge revoked Wilhelm's bond and issued a warrant for his arrest on Monday.
Wilhelm was booked into jail last night. The prosecutor says that's where he'll stay until his trial in May.

UPDATE 6:22pm 3-10 by Jill Chandler:
The night FSU student Ashley Cowie was accidentally shot and killed at a fraternity house seven people called 911. Thursday deputies released those 911 tapes.
Friends were hanging out at the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity house around one in the morning,when police say Evan Wilhelm accidentally discharged his AK-74 variant, a newer version of the AK-47, killing Ashley Cowie, and injuring another student.
He made the first call to 911.
911: "911, what is your emergency?"
Evan Wilhelm: "Yes, I have a gun, and somehow it got loaded. And someone just got shot. I don't even know what happened.
911: "OK, where are you? Say it one more time."
Evan Wilhelm:"Yes, as soon as you can."
911: "Is this an apartment or a house?"
According to the 911 recording, Wilhelm then hung up. The 911 operator called back.
911: OK, this is the 911 operator. What apartment number are yall in?" "Where is the person shot?"
Evan Wilhelm: "Oh my God, Oh my God, Oh my God."
911: "Where is the person shot?"
Evan Wilhelm: "In the chest. I think she's dead... Oh my God."
911: "Is it a female?"
Evan Wilhelm: "yes, it's a female."
911: "Is she inside or outside? OK listen, is she inside or outside?"
Evan Wilhelm: "She's inside, she's inside."
911:"Is it a white female or a black female?"
Evan Wilhelm : "Oh my God."
911: "Honey, is it a white female or a black female?"
Evan Wilhelm: "Yeah, She is white."
911: "OK, what is her name?"
Evan Wilhelm: " Her name is Ashley."
Another Caller's 911 recording went as follows:
Caller: "A gun went off and I need an ambulance here immediately."
911: "Let me transfer you to EMS, do not hang up."
Caller speaking to Wilhelm: "Did you kill her?"
Wilhelm: "I don't know how this happened."
Some callers described Ashley as unresponsive and blood everywhere. Ashley Cowie's father said her twin sister, Amy, who was there at the time, tried to resuscitate her, but nothing could be done.
Cowie's father, Dr. Robert Cowie, testified in front of a Senate Committee two weeks ago. He spoke out against Senate Bill 234. A bill that would allow those with concealed weapons permits to carry them on campus. Wednesday March 9th, that part of the bill was dropped.
Updated 7pm 2-27 by Jennifer Milton:
"Ashley came into this world with me by her side and she left this world with me by her side," said Amy Cowie.
Amy Cowie is grieving the loss of her soul mate. Her identical twin sister Ashley was accidentally shot and killed at an FSU fraternity house on January 9th. Now, she shares the pain of losing her other half at a memorial service on the university's campus.
"Every holiday and every time its my birthday, my wedding and when she's supposed to be the aunt of my kids, I will miss her by my side through it all...but with every step I take until I die, I will always be thinking about her, and always be feeling the loss in my heart," said Cowie.
20 year old Ashley Cowie was a member of the Chi Omega sorority. She was studying interior design. Friends say she loved sunflowers and always put others before herself. They also say she changed their lives for the better, and those she left behind say they were lucky to have known her.
"It may sound weird coming from a 20 year old, but I believe we experienced true love. No matter the situation, she never failed to bring a smile to my face. And though no longer here on earth with us, she continues to bring smiles to my face because of the moments we shared together," said Ashley's boyfriend Philip Robbins.
Ashley was accidentally shot by 20-year-old Evan Wilhelm as he was showing off a light on his gun to his fraternity brothers. The FSU chapter of the fraternity has been removed from campus.
Wilhelm was originally charged with second degree manslaughter, but it was later determined Cowie's death is a first degree felony.
[UPDATE] 2-25 3:40pm----
A memorial service will be held for Ashley Cowie in Orange Park Saturday, February 26th. The memorial will be held at Orange Park Methodist Church at 2pm.
In lieu of flowers, the family is asking people to donate to the Ashley Cowie Memorial Fund at any Regions Bank.
[UPDATE] 2-25 1:40pm --

UPDATED 1-11 at 6:15pm By Candace Sweat
It looks like an ordinary day on FSU's campus. But for many students it doesn't feel that way, and it may not for a long time.
"It takes time. I had a cousin that was my age that was killed by a drunk driver last December so it's something I can definitely relate to. My family is still hurting and it's a year later," said Tiffany Beachump with Baptist Collegiate Ministries.
20-year-old Ashley Cowie died early Sunday morning after being accidentally shot in the chest by Evan Wilhelm at his fraternity's house in Heritage Grove. Authorities say Wilhelm, who is also 20 years old, admits that he had been drinking earlier that day.
"You gotta use your head. You shouldn't be messing around with guns and you should at least have the safety on and not have it loaded, especially with people around," said FSU student, Kyle Manning.
Wilhelm is a member of the Zeta Rho chapter of Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, and his actions have had a detrimental effect on the entire chapter.
The International Headquarters for the fraternity released a statement. It says: "As a result of last Saturday night's tragic accident, Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity's International Headquarters has suspended operations of the Zeta-Rho chapter at Florida State University. "
Some say there is a lesson to be learned.
"What I would hope is that the FSU population realizes that life is fragile. There's a mentality of 'I'm invincible and Im gonna live forever' but life is so precious," said Beachum.
WCTV contacted the Lambda Chi Alpha headquarters to discuss the terms of the suspension, but has not heard back from them as of 6pm Tuesday afternoon.
As for Wilhelm, he was first charged with second degree manslaughter, but it was later determined Cowie's death is a first degree felony. Wilhelm was released on Monday on $25,000 bond.

The 20-year-old man charged with the death of an FSU student faces a judge this morning. Evan Wilhelm was granted bond after what police are calling an "accidental" shooting.
Evan Wilhelm's charges first read as second degree manslaughter, but during his first appearance this morning, it was clarified that the shooting death of an FSU student is a first degree felony.
Twenty-year-old Evan Wilhelm sat straight-faced during his first appearance Monday 1-10...
The prosecution requested that bond be set at 25-thousand dollars on Wilhelm's first degree manslaughter charge for the death of FSU student Ashley Cowie...
Wilhelm's father stood before the court and told Judge Judith Hawkins that he agreed that the requested bond was appropriate for his son.
"I concur with the recommendation of the State."
On Sunday, FSU Police say Wilhelm was showing off his new light for his gun to his friends at Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity... when the gun went off.
FSU Police LT Jason Trombower,says,"Allegedly, he did not know that the gun was loaded and was just activating the flashlight on the weapon, on and off; and then accidentally discharged the weapon." Student Keith Savino was hit in the wrist and suffered a non-life threatening wound ... but 20-year-old Ashley Cowie wasn't so lucky. Officers say a bullet hit the Florida State Sophomore in the chest, killing her immediately.
Ashley Cowie's friend, Bron Volney says, "Ashley was always surprised when I said, Hey, Ashley, what's going on? She said usually people can't tell us apart; we're identical twins, and you're the only one that doesn't call us by our last name. You call us by our first name."
Our cameras were rolling as Wilhelm's parents left the Leon County jail just before 12:30 Monday afternoon...
Wilhelm was released by 12:46 pm.
As a part of his pre-trial release, Wilhelm has to stay with his parents, he'll have a curfew, he will be tested for drugs and alcohol, and there can't be firearms in the home. The judge says Wilhelm will not have to wear a GPS ankle monitor because he will be with his parents.

UPDATE at 6:00pm by Jill Chandler
FSU Police say 20-year-old Evan Wilhelm was playing with his firearm, showing his new light to his friends at Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity when the accident occurred. He said he didn't know the firearm was loaded.
Lt. Jason Trumbower from FSU Police said, "The firearm went off fatally wounding another student and striking another student in the wrist."
Authorities say, he shot Ashley Cowie in the chest killing her immediately. The other student injured, Keith Savino, went to the hospital and has already been released.
The commotion happened around 1:15 a.m. on Sunday morning and people say in the Heritage Grove area off of Ocala street heard the shot.
Darren Desantis lives in the fraternity house next to Lambda Chi Alpha. He said, "(the shot) woke me up and that's when I went downstairs and everyone was in the courtyard frantic... didn't know what to do."
Heritage Grove policy is that firearms are not allowed on the property, and it's against Lamba Chi Alpha fraternity policy to keep a gun at the fraternity house. When the police arrived at the scene, Wilhelm admitted to drinking earlier in the day and didn't resist arrest. He's been charged with negligent manslaughter. FSU police are waiting on the results of a toxicology test.
Ashley Cowie was sophomore at FSU. She and her twin sister Amy are members of the Chi Omega sorority. Her parents are not releasing her photo because their daughters are identical twins.
Her death has shaken the entire Greek life community. FSU students plan to hold a memorial sometime next week. Friends say they want to remember the outgoing, kind hearted young woman whose life ended too early.
Wilhelm will make his first appearance in court with a judge Monday morning. FSU police are currently consulting with the State Attorneys office to see if further gun charges may be pending. __________________________________________________

Desantis said he heard sirens until 6 a.m. He also said guns are not allowed in the apartment complex or fraternity houses. He said, "I'm personally a gun owner, but I keep my guns at home, and those situations, you know, that's when you need it and they're not here."
Students plan to hold a memorial some time this coming week. We'll update the story with those details as soon as a time and place are set.
A female student at The Florida State University died early today and a male student was wounded in a shooting incident off campus.
At 1:16 a.m. on Jan. 9, the FSU Police Department and Tallahassee Police Department responded to 1944 Heritage Grove, a collection of properties housing fraternity students off Ocala Road, to investigate a report of an accidental shooting. Police immediately secured the area and determined there was no further threat to the campus community. They quickly identified the shooter and began an investigation.
According to FSU Police Chief David Perry, Evan Wilhelm, a member of the Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity, was in his apartment allegedly showing friends new accessories on his rifle when it accidentally discharged, shooting a female student, Ashley Cowie, in the chest, then striking a male student, Keith Savino, in the wrist. Cowie died at the scene. Savino's injury was not life-threatening.

Wilhelm was arrested early today and booked into the Leon County Jail. He was charged with manslaughter, a second degree felony. Police said the investigation is continuing.
FSU Dean of Students Jeanine Ward-Roof expressed grief at the loss on behalf of the university and said Victims Advocate services would be offered to the friends and families of the students. In addition, counseling will be made available to any student who requests it.
"We are deeply saddened by this tragedy, and our hearts and prayers are with the students' families at this terrible time," Ward-Roof said. "We strive throughout the year to educate students on how to protect themselves and others, and we are heartsick when incidents such as this occur."
Firearms are prohibited on public university campuses in Florida. The fraternities' buildings at Heritage Grove are private properties, and a housing authority contracts with FSU to provide police services there.
University officials pledged to review the situation and to continue to urge students to be mindful of rules and crime prevention information designed to protect them and their fellow students.
FSU PD confirmed Sunday morning, 20-year-old Ashley Cowie was shot and killed on the scene at the Lambda Chi Alpha Fraternity house at 944 Heritage Grove.
