WARREN -- Trumbull County Assistant Prosecutor Chris Becker and Attorney Jeff Goodman will discuss a potential plea deal in the case of Noel Flores, who is accused of killing Ashante Fisher-Kirksey, 26, in her Francis Avenue home in November.
The disclosure was made during a pre-trial hearing in the courtroom of Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Andrew Logan on Tuesday morning.
Flores' next scheduled court appearance is scheduled for March 5 as a potential trial looms on March 18.
Flores was indicted on charges of murder, second-degree improper discharge of a firearm and three counts of second-degree possession of a firearm in a liquor permit premises.
The first two charges listed carry firearm specifications.
On the night of the murder, 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. Nov. 11.
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 9-mm firearm which is the same caliber used in Fisher-Kirksey's death,
according to the Marshal's task force.
