Charges have been increased against a 60-year-old man in connection with a 2021 shooting in which the victim died nine months after she was wounded.

Richard Olds is now charged with capital murder in the slaying of 41-year-old Patricia Joann Stisher, according to court records made public Tuesday. The shooting happened Feb. 26, and Stisher died Nov. 25 at UAB Hospital.

The shooting happened about 3 p.m. that Friday, at the Marathon in the 2600 block of 34th Avenue North. The victim then showed up at the police department’s North Precinct which is about four blocks away.

Sgt. Rod Mauldin at the time said the shooting appears to have stemmed from a domestic argument. Stisher was in a vehicle when she was shot.

She was taken by Birmingham Fire and Rescue Service to UAB Hospital. She was in an out of the hospital until her death Nov. 25 at 1:59 a.m.

Olds was arrested in June on two counts of attempted murder and one count of discharging a firearm into an occupied vehicle. He has been held in the Jefferson County Jail on bonds totaling $150,000 since his arrest.

He was served with the capital murder on Friday and now is being held without bond.
