The witnesses, who were present at the crime scene, said that Marcum was involved in a fight with Michael Steinhauser, 35-year-old, and he drew the gun.

Witnesses also testified that Marcum opened the fire when Tucker intervened in the fight to put down Marcum’s gun. Marcum opened the fire when Tucker intervened, the witnesses said.
