CAMPBELL — The Mahoning Valley Violent Crimes Task Force arrested Robert Armstrong, 26, of Youngstown in the shooting of Eric Weaver of Campbell.

Weaver, 34, was found lying outside his house at 108 Monroe St., police said. Police found him at 12:48 p.m. lying just below the steps at the side door. His keys were still in the lock from trying to let himself in.

He’d been shot multiple times, but was able to tell police that Armstrong shot him, police said.

Police said they are still investigating a motive for the shooting.

The task force arrested Armstrong at an undisclosed location Thursday afternoon after he turned himself in, Campbell police said. The task force turned him over to Campbell police, they said.

He was to be arraigned at 9 am. today in Campbell Municipal Court. He is charged with felonious assault.

Weaver was taken to St. Elizabeth Health Center, where he remained late Thursday. Police did not know his condition.
