SUMMARY: An Alabama woman was retrieving her dog from across the street when a car came screaming by and almost hit the dog. The lady, Ms. Wendy Fisher, yelled at the driver and three passengers to slow down. They did. Actually they stopped..

ALABAMA – A 17-year-old was arrested and charged with murder this morning in the shooting death of Wendy Fisher in her west Mobile neighborhood.
Mobile County District Attorney Ashley Rich said police apprehended Trayon Omar Washington during an undercover drug operation in the early morning hours today.
Washington will appear in court for a bail hearing Friday.
According to investigators, Fisher yelled at a speeding car driving past her house on Racine Avenue, warning them to slow down.  Police say Washington got out of the car and shot Fisher in the chest.
Rich said no other arrests have been made in the case at this time. She referred questions about the other people in the car that night to Mobile police.
“I’m very pleased with the efforts of the Mobile Police Department to apprehend this particular defendant — and very quickly,” Rich said. “They did an excellent job in determining who the shooter was.
Rob Russo, Fisher’s boyfriend for the past year, said he witnessed the shooting and got a call from Mobile police who said a suspect had been detained.
He said he could, “instantly identify” the shooter from a photo lineup.
“I had no idea he was 17,” Russo said. According to online court records, Washington has pending charges against him involving burglary, receiving stolen property and possession of and receiving a controlled substance.
According to the Press-Register news archives, Mobile police arrested Washington and three others on Phillips Lane last October, after finding a car that had been stolen in Prichard.
At the time, police reported that several other people had been spotted fleeing the arrest scene.
Police said that Washington was charged in that case with receiving stolen property and possession of cocaine.
He was scheduled to appear in Circuit Judge Michael Youngpeter’s courtroom this morning for an arraignment on other charges of third-degree burglary and two counts of second-degree receiving stolen property, according to court records.
Russo said that on the evening of the shooting, Fisher was working on her old Toyota in the driveway when one of their dogs snuck out the  front door.
Fisher decided to let the dogs out, but they ran across the street to their neighbor’s front yard, he said.
They heard a speeding car approaching from a nearby hill, he said, and he urged Fisher to go get the dogs to keep them safe.
As the car passed, he said, “she told them to slow down — that’s all.”
He said he saw three doors open, and one man with a gun stood on the street and fired three shots without saying a word.
Fisher then cried out, “baby, baby, I’ve been shot, I’ve been shot,” he said.
She died at the University of South Alabama Medical Center a short time later. (read more)
