Deputies said that Truesdale left the scene of the shooting with Fisher in a car that belonged to Stacks. When the car broke down, police say Truesdale removed the key and walked with Fisher to a home in Kershaw before getting a ride back to Lancaster the next afternoon. Investigators seized several items from his home as evidence that they believe are linked to the crime. Truesdale is being held in the Lancaster County Jail under an $85,000 bond.
