MEMPHIS, TN (abc24.com) - Three people were fatally shot after a domestic fight broke out in a South Memphis home.

The incident occurred just before 6:00am on the 1600-block of Prescott on January 19, 2012. According to reports from the scene, the suspect was staying with his girlfriend at her family's home when they began fighting. When the girlfriend's father tried to intervene the suspect began firing shots.

The girlfriend, 23-year-old Pashea Fisher, and her father, 56-year-old Arithio Fisher, were pronounced dead at the scene. The girlfriend's mother, 46-year-old Patricia Fisher, was transported to The MED in critical condition but later died.

The suspect, identified by family members as 28-year-old Sedric Clayton, fled the scene but turned himself in to police a short time later. Clayton & Fisher's 4-year-old daughter was with the suspect when he fled, but was unharmed. She is now in state custody.

Pashea Fisher had worked in the General Sessions Court Clerk's Office since October 2008.

To top it all off, these are the actions of, not just another typical Memphis man, but a father. I can only hope that he didn't murder these people in front of the poor child.

So this zoo escapee guns down the entire family? Why do we all have to pay for his food, jail cell, and all the other costs associated with his "correction"? This animal lacks the most basic human skills and is an absolute coward who reserves to deadly weapons simply because human diplomacy and ability to resolve arguments in a civil way is not something it practiced in the garbage village where it lived. Gas it - this is what all the normal people would want. We have too many specimens as this one running around, breast-beating and shooting humans. Do it before normal people open the hunting season against all odds...
