Having traveled to Dealey Plaza on 22 November 1963 to witness the Kennedy assassination, Stevens had seen his own older self shoot Kennedy.

(MA: Who Killed Kennedy)

Before leaving the present to commit the assassination of Kennedy, Stevens would mentor Ruby Duvall, a young aspiring journalist. (NA: Happy Endings)
