Warren robbery victim dies; additional charges possible
Christopher Moore
WARREN — David Petrosky of Warren, shot in the head during what police believe was a robbery, died Friday morning at Cleveland Metro Health Center, about 24 hours after life support was removed.
Brian Petrosky of Cleveland, one of the 55-year-old retired Copperweld Steel employee’s sons, said family members spent a couple hours with their father to say goodbye Thursday. Life support was removed at about 1 p.m., and he died about 11:30 a.m. Friday.
“The doctors had a conversation with us about quality of life and the chances of him ever regaining consciousness. Instead of leaving him to live like that, we decided to let him go,” Brian Petrosky said.
Chris Becker, an assistant Trumbull County prosecutor, said Petrosky’s death will result in an additional charge being filed. He declined to be more specific.
On Thursday, a Trumbull County grand jury indicted Christopher P. Moore, 31, of Roosevelt Street, on charges of aggravated burglary, aggravated robbery, tampering with evidence and two counts of grand theft in connection with the Nov. 10 shooting of David Petrosky in his Hall Street home.
