Suspect says his arrest was a mistake

YOUNGSTOWN -- A 19-year-old city man arrested in a September shooting that injured three people told a judge that police have the wrong man.
Keith D. Crockett of Victor Street said there are many other people in the city who share his name and it is one of those men whom police should want.
Crockett is being held in the Mahoning County Justice Center. His defense argument was relayed to Municipal Judge Robert P. Milich through defense attorney Kelly Harman during a video arraignment Tuesday.
Crockett faces two charges of felonious assault in the Sept. 9 attack during which police allege he shot into a crowd in front of a Hillman Street residence. At the recommendation of the state, Milich set a $50,000 cash or surety bond.
Police reports show that three people were injured when Crockett shot a woman and then fired into the group.
Witnesses told police that Crockett and another man went to the residence to confront a man who they believed had stolen a CD player from a relative of Crockett's, reports show. The man they suspected is a cousin of one of the victims and lived at the same address.
