VOLUSIA COUNTY, FL – Three defendants in three separate Volusia Sheriff’s Office cases were indicted by a grand jury this week, each on first-degree murder charges.

Two of the three defendants were already in custody on murder charges:

Michael Harris Jr. (DOB 7/20/2000), arrested Jan. 23 on charge of second-degree murder in the killing of Bobby Scott.

Damian DeRousha (DOB 1/9/1978), arrested Feb. 4 on a charge of first-degree murder in the killing of Donald Geno at the Volusia County fleet maintenance facility.

The third defendant indicted was Lee Ardis Wiley II (DOB 11/23/1976) on a charge of first-degree murder in the overdose death of Michael Ordway in April 2019.
