Hearne Officer on Paid Leave After Fatal Shooting 1/3/13

Associated Press
January 3, 2013

HEARNE - A Central Texas police officer has been put on paid
administrative leave following a fatal shooting at an apartment complex.

Hearne police on Wednesday announced the duty change for Officer Stephen
Stem. Police have declined to release specifics on what led to Sunday's death of
28-year-old Tederalle Satchell.

Hearne officers responded to a complaint about a group in a parking lot and
shots fired from a vehicle carrying three people. Arriving officers spotted the
vehicle and the trio. Investigators say Stem was involved in a shooting and a
gun not belonging to police was found at the scene.

Police Chief Thomas Williams and a Texas Ranger declined additional comment
Wednesday.

Records show Satchell in October was released from prison after serving time
for felony drug possession in Brazos County.
