Charges of attempted murder will not be pursued against three of the four men arrested for allegedly shooting at a Carson City deputy last week.

Deputy District Attorney Gerald Gardner said Friday that Raul Perez-Sandoval, 22, is the sole person who will be charged.

Christian Quirarte, 21, will remain in custody until he appears Feb. 11 for a probation revocation hearing. Quirarte is on probation for a March fight in which he attacked a rival gang member with a baseball bat.

Gustavo Mejia, 22, will remain in custody on charges of gross misdemeanor defacing jail property and misdemeanor graffiti after he allegedly wrote on his cell walls while in custody on an immigration hold.

No charges will be pursued against Abel Rivera, 34, but Abel will remain in custody also on an immigration hold.
