Detective Joseph Tucker Fisher, 34, a 12-year veteran of the Little Rock Police Department, was killed while serving a narcotics search warrant on Butler Road in Little Rock on February 7, 1995. Fisher was struck in the upper shoulder when the entry team was met with gunfire as they breached the apartment door; the bullet entered an unprotected area and proved fatal despite his wearing a protective vest. Detective Frederick Lee was also shot in the exchange and survived a serious head wound.

The shooter, identified as Willie Leon Green, was wounded in the leg during the return fire and taken into custody. The warrant followed prior controlled purchases of narcotics from Green’s apartment. Fisher is survived by two daughters and is remembered for his service and sacrifice.
