ST. LOUIS, MO – In a chilling turn of events involving social media and street violence, Natee Fisher, 19, of St. Louis, MO, was sentenced to 120 months in federal prison for one count of interference with commerce by robbery. The sentence, handed down before U.S. District Judge Ronnie L. White, marks the culmination of a case that began with a seemingly routine Facebook Marketplace transaction.
According to court documents, Fisher advertised a gaming system on April 16, 2018, with intentions far darker than selling electronics. Meeting the victim at a pre-arranged location, Fisher’s true motive was laid bare when he entered the car and demanded money. The confrontation quickly escalated into violence as Fisher pointed a firearm at his victim. In a struggle over the weapon, Fisher shot the victim in the leg before fleeing the scene on foot.
With federal agents closing in, Fisher was eventually apprehended. The investigation was a joint effort by the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. Assistant United States Attorney Jennifer Roy handled the case for the U.S. Attorney’s Office, ensuring justice was served.
Fisher’s sentence is a stark reminder of the dangers lurking in online marketplaces and the violent outcomes that can follow when greed and impulsiveness meet. The victim’s injuries have been described as severe, casting a long shadow over this senseless act of violence.
This case serves as a cautionary tale for those who might consider engaging in similar criminal activities. For Fisher, it means decades behind bars for his actions on that fateful day in April 2018.
As St. Louis and the nation continue to grapple with crime, the sentence of Natee Fisher underscores the importance of law enforcement collaboration and the pursuit of justice for all victims of violent crime.
