2 plead guilty to reduced charges in 2010 shooting death

YOUNGSTOWN — Two men charged with a 2010 shooting death on the city’s South Side have entered into plea agreements that will likely send both men to prison.

Randy L. Bell, 24, of East Philadelphia Avenue, and Mark Colpetro, 30, of Willis Avenue, entered their pleas today before Judge Maureen Sweeney of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court. The two men and a third co-defendant, Robert Clark, 38, of Canfield Road, were set to go on trial for murder this week.

Clark did not enter into a plea agreement on the murder charge against him and no new date has been set for his trial.

The three men are charged in connection with the death of Mark A. Trulson, 32, of Atlantic, Pa. Trulson was found shot in the head at South and Dewey avenues about 9:30 p.m. Feb. 19, 2010. He died just before 11 p.m. in St. Elizabeth Health Center.
