Warren officials seeking public's help in shooting case


WARREN — City officials say community involvement may be the key to solving a drive-by shooting that left one man dead and two children seriously wounded.

Officers were sent to 2290 Wick S.E. just before 10 p.m. Monday on a report of shots fired at that location. Inside the house Marvin Chaney, 26, of Fifth Street, Joshua McCoy, 4, of Wick Street, and Lloyd McCoy, 11, of Wick Street, all had been shot.

Police believe someone drove past the home indiscriminately firing a high-powered weapon.

Chaney died of his injuries. Both McCoy children were taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center to be treated for gunshot wounds. Police said Joshua McCoy was in stable condition as of this afternoon. Lloyd McCoy had undergone surgery, but there was no word on his condition tonight.

Detective Wayne Mackey said police want to catch the individuals who were in the unidentified vehicle. Input from the public, he said, is needed to do that.

“We do have two people still injured in this, one a very small child. We want to solve this as soon as possible. We are asking that anyone with information call the police department. They don’t have to leave a name to leave information,” Mackey said.
