Officers observed injuries consistent with a physical altercation and blood on Fisher’s clothing. Homicide detectives working with the Harris County District Attorney’s office ultimately decided the evidence was enough to charge and book him in the Harris County Jail.
According to jail records, Fisher was released from prison in December of last year. He served a seven-year sentence for armed robbery and additional time for contraband.
The identities have not been released pending next of kin notification.
