CCTV footage obtained by 11Alive captured part of the altercation between Fisher and Steverson at the Marathon Fuel gas station. At 10:43pm, Fisher was seen talking to Steverson, who was in his black truck. The footage cuts to Steverson outside his vehicle and sitting on the hood of Fisher’s patrol car. Seconds later, Fisher appeared to push Steverson back down onto the hood during the dispute.

The footage cuts again to another scene, this time of Fisher tackling Steverson to the ground. According to Steverson’s family, Fisher allegedly pulled out his Taser and tased Steverson while his back was turned. They claimed Steverson also had his arm raised in surrender at the time the Taser was deployed before he was handcuffed. The footage, however, does not show Fisher’s initial approach or an uninterrupted view of the entire confrontation.

The incident, however, seemingly left a mark on Steverson. Five days after their initial encounter, Fisher was reportedly sitting in his patrol car, parked in Meriwether Country Inn’s parking lot after an unrelated traffic stop.

Steverson allegedly pulled up next to Fisher’s patrol car before firing multiple shots directed at him at around 11:57pm on Sept. 1, the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI) said. Fisher was declared dead on the scene.

    Nearly 12 hours later, Steverson was identified as the passenger of a car during a traffic stop in Anderson, South Carolina. Anderson County Sheriff’s Office officers discovered Steverson had what they believed was a self-inflicted gunshot wound.

    Holy shit so the PD went and killed him. It’s not so unbelievable that he knew his life would be fucked after killing a cop/life in prison, but the way this is written smells like they found him and killed him. Passenger during a traffic stop?

        I wonder if we’ll see bodycam footage of that encounter, though the convenient lapses of footage showing the alleged abuse in the first round of bodycam footage doesn’t give me much hope. I could bet money it’s been “lost”, “recorded over”, or simply “footage does not show an uninterrupted view of the confrontation”
