YOUNGSTOWN — A Mahoning County grand jury today indicted Jamar Houser, 19, for killing an elderly woman in the parking lot of a South Side church and stealing her handbag earlier this year.

An indictment was handed up against Houser, of Volney Road, charging him with aggravated murder, aggravated robbery and illegal possession of weapon. The charges have death-penalty specifications.

Houser is charged with the Jan. 23 murder of Angeline Fimognari, 80, of Sheridan Road, in the parking lot of St. Dominic Church on the South Side. Fimognari was shot in the head. Her purse was missing, leading police to believe she was a victim of robbery turned deadly.
