A suspected cop killer is on the run in Georgia after he gunned down a small-town officer who arrested him days earlier in what officials believe was a targeted shooting.
Warm Springs City Councilman Michael Bishop told 11 Alive he believes the alleged gunman Jimmie Lee Steverson, 23, may have killed Warm Springs Police Stg. Chris Fisher – a father of two – in retaliation for arresting him last week on weapon and drugs charges.
The Georgia Bureau of Investigation has issued a Blue Alert for Steverson after Fisher was shot outside the Meriwether Country Inn, about 70 miles south of Atlanta.
The suspect should be considered armed and dangerous.
Authorities described Steverson as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 150 pounds and with black dreadlocks and brown eyes.
He was last seen driving a 2026 black Chevrolet Silverado, and was wearing a black t-shirt with black gym shorts.
*** Authorities have not formally offered any specifics about what led up to the fatal shooting.
However arrest records show Steverson was busted last Friday morning around 1 a.m. for charges including possession/distribution of marijuana, possession of a firearm or knife during the commission of a crime and obstruction of officers with threats or violence.
Sgt. Fisher was listed as the arresting officer, and Bishop told the outlet he believes the young officer, who had only moved to town and joined the force three months ago, was deliberately targeted as a result of their interaction.***

Some cultures cannot peacefully coexist within civilization. It is past time we admit that and proceed to excise those cancerous cultures.
Tragic, dastardly, senseless.
Boil it down. It’s a black killing a White.
You will never convince me this animal would have done this had the cop been black.
Vigilantism is coming, IMHO.
I’ve said this before on other threads, but that doesn’t mean I’m advocating for it. It is, however, what I foresee approaching.
“2026 black Chevrolet Silverado”
At least he has money and good taste. About 100k pickup.
I agree... Not advocating it. But the longer the legal system allows perpetrators like this to walk free the worse things will get. V may end up being the only cure left should the system not reverse course quickly.
Arrested last week on weapons and drug charges and is out this week to murder the arresting officer. How does that happen?
Bet the flock cameras know exactly where that particular bought and paid-for “2026 black Chevrolet Silverado” is, not to mention OnStar. Not that I’m endorsing that.
Why was the guy not in jail???
The name threw me off. Without Yogi or the photo I would have guessed wrong.
He was last seen driving a 2026 black Chevrolet Silverado, and was wearing a black t-shirt with black gym shorts.
If this was an AP report ,they would have written

Devolving culture.....they get worse as we pile more benefits on them.
I would agree... A planned attack is not the norm for the afros. sucker punching or attacking from the rear is the norm. Or, with a pack of afros.
“ ….. but that doesn’t mean I’m advocating for it”
Well, why not? I just wonder why is it taking so long
Authorities described Steverson as 5 feet, 6 inches tall, 150 pounds and with black dreadlocks and brown eyes.
“Steverson was busted last Friday morning around 1 a.m. for charges including...obstruction of officers with threats or violence.”

This is a significant problem w/our existing judicial system; why was this person back on the streets 4 days after threatening violence against the LEO’s who arrested him???
The description only left out one trait or at least the article left it out.
