Arrest Made In Connection With Fatal Shooting Of SKARD SOUL Guitarist

October 24, 2008

Star-Telegram.com reports that a 37-year-old man wanted in connection with the fatal shooting of the guitarist for the Weatherford, Texas metal band SKARD SOUL (MySpace page) Tuesday was arrested early Thursday in Kaufman County, officials said.

Officers found Jeremy Ryan Sisk (see photos below) dead in the 200 block of West Bridge Street about 11:34 a.m. Tuesday. He had a single gunshot wound to the face.

According to CBS 11 News, Sisk was passionate about his music and family. It was his devotion to protect his own that would cost Sisk his life.

"He was trying to defend his brother, and he got shot," Kim Parker, Sisk's aunt, said. "As much as I'd like to kill them myself, I'd rather police lock them up and they live very long lives in bars."

Chris Sisk said his brother jumped into a fight when two men who came into his apartment to rob him were beating him up.

"Jeremy took on one of the guys and was pounding him," Chris Sisk told the Weatherford Telegram. "The guy realized he was losing the fight, pulled a gun and shot my brother."
