Fisk hit with attempted murder charge while serving time in jail

Weeks after beating charges that he attacked a Warren County jailer, alleged drive-by shooter Deonray Fisk could be looking at significantly more time after more indictments were handed down against him for the holiday ambush which left one man wounded.

Fisk, 27, who has been held in lieu of bond at Warren County Jail since days after he allegedly shot David Estrada in drive-by fashion just before Christmas 2005, was hit with new indictments for the incident. The new indictments not only charge him with attempted murder and aggravated assault but also name the other occupants of the car, Audon Estrada and Jorge Bautista, as co-prosecutors.

The attempted murder counts each hold a possibility of 15 to 25 years in prison if convicted. Fisk is also charged with possession of a firearm by a convicted felon as he had served time for robbery prior to his most recent arrest.

Fisk is charged with pulling alongside the victims? vehicle on Sparta Highway on the evening of Dec. 22, 2005 and opening fire, with one of the rounds hitting David Estrada in the back. Estrada has recovered. Lawmen suspect the shooting was prompted by an exchange of words minutes before inside Wal-Mart with Fisk trailing the men until seizing a chance for ambush. While not confessing to the crime, Fisk has reportedly offered to take responsibility for the shooting.

Fisk is also suspected as the person who shot into a house on Spring Valley Drive just prior to the Estrada shooting. The similarities in ballistics worried lawmen at the time that a serial sniper was working the area.

Fisk?s time while behind bars has not been quiet as he has picked up a pair of new charges while being confined. First, he was charged for having drugs in his possession. Second, he was charged with assaulting a jailer.

However, the second charge has been disposed of as Fisk was acquitted by a jury last month after jurors saw video tape of the alleged assault and determined Fisk committed no crime.
