Already known for being on the wrong side of the law since his mid-teens, King Fisher, was one of the most violent and aggressive gunfighters of his day. Known for rolling with a group of bandits who were fond of raiding ranches in Mexico, Fisher eventually even killed three of his own gang members during an argument over money, and then he took over as leader of the gang. He was famous for his brightly colored attire and twin ivory-handled pistols. Eventually, he was arrested for by the Texas Rangers for cattle rustling over the Mexican border. Although, he was released as soon an agreement was reached that he and his gang would cease with the rustling of Mexican cattle. He turned to legitimate ranching after this, but it did not end his gun-slinging days. One documented fight led Fisher to gun down 4 Mexican Cowboys by himself (two of them supposedly unarmed). At the age of 30, while in San Antonio for some business, he was reunited with an old friend, Ben Thompson. During this time, the two of them were caught in an ambush and shot down in a theater by some men that Thompson was feuding with.
