Police seeking leads to suspects in 3 shootings

WARREN -- Police continue looking for leads to find out who shot three city residents in unrelated incidents over the weekend.
David L. Owens, 31, of Highland Avenue and Kelli D. Brooks, 37, of Parkman Road Northwest, were shot in the head. Owens also was shot in the chest and in both hands, police said. They are in the intensive care unit at St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown.
Police said they were called to the dead end of Front Street near the Warren Recycling plant, Martin Luther King Avenue Southwest, at about 5 a.m. Saturday after a security guard at Warren Recycling heard six shots and heard a vehicle leave the area. Officers found Owens face-down on the street.
He told police he had been shot and robbed. Police believe Owens had been driven to the location where the shooting occurred.
At the time of the Owens shooting, police were still investigating a shooting that had occurred just after midnight Saturday on Parkman Road in which Brooks was shot in the head.

A passer-by found Brooks in a yard near her home and called police, who discovered the woman had been shot once with a small-caliber firearm inside her home. Police found blood and a shell casing inside the residence. Owens told police she didn't realize she had been shot.
A third shooting reported to city police on Saturday came at around 2:30 p.m. when DomiQue McCorkle, 18, of Transylvania Street Southeast, reported that while walking on Niles Road near Roman Street Southeast, he was shot in the leg above his ankle. Police said his injuries did not appear to be life-threatening.
Police said McCorkle reported that he didn't realize he had been shot right away and walked home to call police. McCorkle was taken by a friend to Forum Health Trumbull Memorial Hospital, where he was treated.
