Muncie man arrested on suspicion of attempted murder
After being taken into custody on May 21, Daishaun Savontae Daye, 22, was being held in the Delaware County Jail under a $65,000 bond. He was also being held for suspicion of pointing a firearm, criminal recklessness and false informing.
In an affidavit, city police reported Daye and a friend, Karley Nicole Dishman, a 23-year-old Muncie woman, told them on May 1 that the occupants of a Ford Escape had pointed a handgun at them as they traveled in a Jeep near Sixth and Beacon streets,
Daye — who indicated he had fired a gunshot at the SUV during the incident — "repeatedly commented he was going to shoot the driver of the white Ford Escape," an officer wrote.
City officers reported they had later viewed a video of the encounter between occupants of the Jeep and the Escape on May 1.

They reported the Jeep, driven by Dishman, ran a stop sign and then briefly prevented the Escape from leaving the intersection. Angry words were reportedly exchanged, and nine gunshots were heard as the SUV "accelerates off."
Investigators reported they found the occupants of the Escape, who said Daye emerged from the Jeep and shot at their vehicle during the May 1 incident and "frequently chases after them when seen around the city."
Police found a bullet hole in the SUV's rear bumper.
Dishman was also arrested, on suspicion of assisting a criminal and false reporting. She was apparently released after posting bond.
Delaware County Prosecutor Eric Hoffman's office will determine whether Day or Dishman will face criminal charges.
Court records reflect no prior charges against either Muncie resident.
