Trumbull Co. grand jury indicts two men on murder charges

WARREN — A 25-year-old Warren man faces a possible life prison sentence for his role in the death of a 29-year-old Warren man on July 17, 2008, while a similar fate could await a 55-year-old Arizona man charged with a 1979 Warren homicide.

A Trumbull County grand jury today indicted Beau A. Palmer, 25, of Clermont Avenue Northeast, on a murder charge and three other crimes with the death of Clint Zimmerman, who was found dead in a chair in his living room. He had been shot in the chest at 312 Logan Ave. N.E.

The grand jury also returned a murder indictment against Ronald Stahlman, 56. He also could face a life prison sentence. Authorities located him in Payson, Ariz., on Dec. 9 after he spent 29 years eluding capture.

Stahlman fled from Trumbull County after authorities issued an arrest warrant accusing him of stabbing to death Bernard Williamson on a Warren street corner April 29, 1979.
