Warren detectives are investigating the second homicide of the year in the Hampshire House Apartments.
On Sunday morning, police were called to an apartment on Fifth Street Southwest for the shooting death of a 27-year-old man.
Sgt. Dan Mason of the Warren Police Department said the department was not releasing any other information as of Sunday night.
The location of the homicide is near the only other homicide the city had in the past 12 months.
Sharmaine Delaney, 20, of 1380 Fifth St. SW, was found shot to death in her bed early Jan. 31.
Police have not made any arrests in that case, though they did interview several people, police said.
Delaney, who moved to Warren three years ago from Cleveland, had no criminal record in Warren Municipal Court or Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.
Two of Delaney’s three children were in the apartment at the time her body was found.
The last homicides before Delaney were the killings of Rahman Warfield, 34, of McKinley Street Northeast and Steven S. Faison, 24, of Duke Avenue Southeast, on May 9, 2010, at Warfield’s house.
Both were shot to death in what prosecutors have described as a drug deal gone bad.
Karenda A. Hutsenpiller, 21, of 1330 Fifth Street Southwest, also in the Hampshire House Apartments, pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of tampering with evidence and agreed to spend 15 years in prison May 5.
Hutsenpiller will be sentenced later.
The Hampshire House Apartments are on the west side of Tod Avenue Southwest near the southern city limits and the Jefferson K-8 school building.
