A suspect wanted out of Georgia for killing a 36-year-old police officer and crossing state lines is dead, according to authorities in South Carolina.

Anderson County Sheriff Chad McBride said deputies were told around noon Wednesday to be on the lookout for 23-year-old Jimmy Lee Steverson, the man accused of killing Warm Springs police Officer Chris Fisher hours earlier in Meriwether County, Georgia."We had received a BOLO from Georgia about a potential suspect who apparently executed an officer out of Georgia," McBride described.

Deputies spotted a vehicle that matched the suspect's information from Georgia in the area of Interstate 85, McBride said.
