2nd man arraigned in shooting of siblings


STAFF REPORT

YOUNGSTOWN — A second man has been arrested for with the shooting of a brother and sister in the city earlier this month.

Jamond Robinson, 20, of East Florida Street, was arraigned Friday before Judge Robert P. Milich in Youngstown Municipal Court on two counts of felonious assault. The judge set bond at $400,000 and ordered Robinson to have no contact with the siblings he is accused of shooting if he makes bond.

Police arrested Cametrius Adams, 32, of Trumbull Court, earlier this week for the same shooting. He appeared Thursday before Judge Milich for arraignment.

Adams, represented by Atty. Jeffrey Limbian, is charged with two counts of felonious assault and one count of attempted murder. Prosecutors said the murder charge stems from Adams’ standing over the female shooting victim and firing more shots into her body after the initial shooting had taken place.

According to police, Americka Brown, 19, of East Lucius, was taken to the trauma center at St. Elizabeth Health Center at 12:40 p.m. July 11 after being shot in the chest and left leg. Police said she was unable to talk at that time because of her wounds.

Her brother, Aaron Wright, 22, also of Lucius, told police he began to run but felt a pain in his legs and then fell. The siblings began to run when at least three people appeared and began shooting.

Authorities said Brown was able to get on the porch of a home on Lucius before she collapsed from her wounds.

Police said they found .45-caliber and 9 mm shell casings at the scene.
