A man charged in the fatal shooting of his stepson made a brief appearance in General Sessions Court Thursday during a video arraignment from the jail where he is incarcerated.
50 year old Albert Wayne Fisher, Jr. is charged with second degree murder in the fatal shooting of 37 year old Tyler Durden. During the hearing, the judge appointed the District Public Defender’s Office to represent Fisher in the case. His bond remains at $500,000 and his next court appearance is December 5.
The shooting occurred on Halloween night at Fisher’s home on Eckles Heights Road in Liberty.
Authorities have revealed few details about the shooting.
In a prepared statement, 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”.
