## Caption

Mac Marquette, 25, is charged with murder for fatally shooting Steve Perkins outside his home just before 2 a.m. on September 29, 2023, while accompanying a tow-truck driver to repossess Perkins’ truck at his home in Decatur.

An Alabama judge heard conflicting testimony on whether Marquette should be shielded from prosecution by Alabama’s “stand your ground” law.

Videos from both two of the officers' body cameras then show Marquette rounding the corner to confront Perkins. In a matter of seconds, Perkins appears to point the gun at Marquette, who shouted “Police, get on the ground" and almost instantly fired approximately 17 bullets, killing Perkins.
