Third person in Lloyd McCoy Jr. shooting death gets one year, released from custody

WARREN — Pam McCoy knows there’s a chance she’ll see Marcus Yager out in public within a few days, possibly with Yager’s young son, and it will bother her.

“It will be hard to see him playing with his son, knowing that he took part in killing [my] son,” she said today in the Trumbull County Courthouse after Yager received a one-year prison sentence for his role in the shooting deaths of Pam McCoy’s 11-year-old son, Lloyd McCoy Jr., and Marvin Chaney, 26.

Because Yager gets credit for over a year he has served in the county jail, he will be released as soon as his paperwork is completed in a couple days, said Chris Becker, assistant county prosecutor.

Pam and Lloyd McCoy Sr. said they believe Yager, 23, of Vine Avenue Northeast, deserves the five years in prison he could have gotten.

Prosecutors promised Yager they would recommend he get between one and five years in prison if he cooperated with authorities and testified at the trials of his two co-defendants, Eugene Henderson, 26, and Eugene Cumberbatch, 27, both of Warren.
