Ex-boyfriend charged in fatal Leesburg shooting

WASHINGTON– A mother has died after a domestic shooting in Leesburg, Virginia on Saturday night.

Police on Sunday charged a former boyfriend, Darrick Lee Lewis, 30, of Middleburg, Va., with killing Christina Fisher, 34,  at her residence at Nansemond Street Southeast.

Police said they have two children together and that the initial 911 call about a verbal domestic dispute had come from a child in the home at about 6:15 p.m.

Fisher had taken out a protective order against Davis, police said.

Once police arrived, they found Fisher suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. She was flown by AirCare to a local hospital, where she later died.

Police say Lewis was later arrested at his home  in Middleburg. He was  taken into custody by deputies with the Loudoun County Sheriff’s Office.

Sunday morning, Lewis was charged with murder, use of a firearm in the commission of a felony, and violation of a protective order. He was ordered held in the Loudoun County Adult Detention Center without bail.

Court records did not indicate whether he had an attorney.
