Sergeant Stevens was shot and killed when a mentally ill suspect took control of his firearm and shot and killed him. Sergeant Stevens was on break, eating with other officers at an all night restaurant when the suspect approached the seated officers and went immediately for Sgt. Steven's duty revolver removing it from his holster and shooting the Sergeant. The suspect was pursued by other officers out of the restaurant and captured in the parking lot. The suspect was later ruled to be mentally ill and released.
Sergeant Stevens was survived by his wife, two daughters, mother, six sisters, and four brothers.
