Dimetrius J. Morris, 25, of McGuffey Road, was in the Mahoning County jail on charges of illegal weapon possession, carrying a concealed weapon, receiving stolen property and trafficking in crack cocaine.

Shooting in Boardman

BOARDMAN — Police are investigating a shooting that landed a Youngstown man in the hospital.

Juan Rivera Torres, 20, of West Warren Avenue, Youngstown, was shot about 3:30 p.m. Christmas Eve at the Splash and Shine carwash on East Midlothian Boulevard.

A witness told police that three men were talking at the carwash when one of them pulled a gun and shot one of the others several times.

The gunman ran, and the third man helped the victim into a vehicle before it left the scene, the witness said.

Police were notified by St. Elizabeth Health Center a short time later that a man, later identified as Rivera Torres, was being treated for gunshot wounds. No information about Rivera Torres’ condition was available from the hospital.

Robberies in Warren

WARREN — Two armed robberies were reported in the city over the holiday weekend.

A delivery driver for a Mahoning Avenue tavern reported that about 2 a.m. Christmas Day, he was delivering food to a Douglas Street house when a man and woman flagged him down. The man pulled a gun, took the food and fled on foot with the woman.

About 11 p.m. Saturday, two women and a man were standing in the parking lot of a business in the 1600 block of North Park Avenue near Idylwild Street when two men, one masked, approached. The masked man pulled a gun and demanded money, but the three victims had nothing to give.

As the robbers walked away, the gunman fired at them from about 75 feet away. The would-be robbers got into a vehicle and left.
