WARREN -- The attorney for a man charged in the fatal shooting of a Warren mother of four plans to file a self-defense motion.

A grand jury indicted Noel Flores, 19, for murder, second-degree improper discharge of a firearm and three counts of second-degree possession of a firearm in liquor permit premises related to the death of Ashante Fisher-Kirksey, 26, who was shot to death in early November.

The first two charges listed carry firearm specifications.

On Nov. 11, Fisher-Kirksey's boyfriend phoned 911, reporting that his girlfriend had been shot in the neck after she was followed into her Francis Avenue SE residence by at least one gunman around 2 a.m.

Flores was booked into Trumbull County jail following extradition from St. Petersburg, Florida where U.S. Marshals tracked him to an apartment. Flores was found with a 9mm firearm which is the same caliber used in Fisher-Kirksey's death, according to a release from the U.S. Marshal's task force.
