Bond has been set for the man accused of killing an Aggie in College Station. So far, College Station Police say only one person knows why it happened.

36-Year old Chris Schmotzer has been charged with murder and his bond set at $300,000.

College Station Police said Schmotzer killed 29-year-old Rufus Stephens, shooting him in the head. Stephens was killed behind POETS bar, early Saturday morning. Early Sunday, police arrested 36-year-old Chris Schmotzer.

For the last several years, Rufus Stephens worked his way through school as a bartender at Ozona. Co-workers said he was friendly and well-liked.

"That's why its so odd to be talking about the way he died because he was such a tender guy," said uncle George Stephens.

Friday night, Ozona employees went to POETS bar, in College Station, a place the co-workers often frequented. Witnesses said 36-year-old Chris Schmotzer was there too.

"There are witnesses that said he was staring at this group the victim was with, intently," said College Station Police Lieutenant Rodney Sigler.

Stephens' friends say Schmotzer spoke to the group, then continued to stare. By 2a.m., POETS closed, and Stephens and a friend continued to hang out.

"The victim and a friend were out in the parking lot playing football," said Sigler

According to Police documents, as the friend drove away, he told police he saw Stephens getting into his truck, with Schmotzer still in the parking lot.

Police say around 3a.m. Schmotzer's truck was recorded on surveillance video, driving away.

At 3:30a.m. a POETS employee found Stephens in his truck bleeding, with a gun-shot wound to the head. He would later die at College Station Medical Center.

Investigators said the bullet and casing found on scene matched ammunition found in Schmotzer's truck. Police said they don't have a motive yet, which leaves little consolation for Stephens' family.

The 28-year-old completed his degree in Wildlife and Fisheries Science three weeks ago.

"He took away a young man's life when he was really coming into his own and was ready to start that next phase of his life, and it was stolen from him just senselessly," said George Stephens.
