A man who allegedly fatally shot his stepson on Halloween night last year in Liberty was indicted Tuesday by the DeKalb County Grand Jury for 2nd degree murder.
50 year old Albert Wayne Fisher, Jr. will appear for arraignment in DeKalb County Criminal Court next Tuesday, June 9 in the death of 37 year old Tyler Durden.
The shooting occurred at Fisher’s home on Eckles Heights Road in Liberty.
Since Fisher’s arrest, authorities have revealed few details about the shooting.
In a prepared statement after the shooting the TBI said “at the request of 13th District Attorney General Bryant Dunaway, TBI Special Agents joined DeKalb County deputies and investigators with the DA’s office in investigating the shooting that occurred shortly after 6 p.m. October 31. During the course of the investigation, Agents developed information that Durden approached the residence of his mother and stepfather. Fisher came to the door, and during that encounter, fired a weapon, striking Mr. Durden. The victim was ultimately transported to a Nashville hospital, where he was pronounced deceased”.
Fisher is now free on bond and has been represented by the District Public Defender’s Office.
