ROBERTSON COUNTY, Texas — Former Hearne Police Officer Stephen Stem will not face charges in the May shooting death of 93-year-old Pearlie Golden. Based on the evidence, the Robertson County Grand Jury did not find enough probable cause to proceed with an indictment.

Stem shot Golden in her front lawn May 6. According to the police report, when Hearne police arrived at Golden's home, Stem found Golden brandishing a .38-caliber revolver. After Stem asked her to put down the weapon, Golden fired two shots before Stem fired four shots, hitting Golden once in the arm and once in the upper chest, eventually killing her.

After the shooting, Stem was placed on administrative leave and fired by the Hearne City Council on May 10.

This was Stem's second shooting on the job. In December 2012, he shot 28-year-old Tederalle Satchel. Satchel's cousin, Kelvin Mitchell, lives down the street from Golden.

"You just have to let the justice system do its job and just hope that they get justice for this lady because they didn't get justice for my cousin," Mitchell said after the Golden shooting. "You probably couldn't bleep out all the words I really want to say."
