Police say, 18-year-old Derrick Wilkerson and 21-year-old Javaris Florestial were booked into the Osceola County Jail and are being held without bond.

The pair barged into the home of 33-year-old Johnny Fisher, Jr., last Sunday, with Wilkerson pointing a handgun at his head.

Wilkerson accused Fisher of being involved in an altercation at Teresa’s Bar, on Friday night, Kissimmee investigators said.

Fisher told the men he had not been involved in any altercation, but before the pair left, Wilkerson opened fire, shooting Fisher in the leg. Police say, Wilkerson and Florestial then fled the scene.

Arrest warrants were obtained for Wilkerson and Florestial.  The two have been charged with several crimes, including attempted murder, armed occupied burglary, aggravated assault and conspiracy to commit attempted murder.

Wilkerson and Florestial were booked into the Osceola County Jail, without bond.
