2nd man charged in killings has a felony case pending
YOUNGSTOWN
The second man charged in the August double murder on the city’s East Side is behind bars and will soon be before a Mahoning County Common Pleas judge.
Quentin T. Jones, 23, of Jackson Street, turned himself in to police at the Youngstown Municipal Court on Tuesday. He is one of two men charged with the slayings of Jasmon Reeder and Oscar Teague at 1901 Wirt St.
Judge Robert Douglas of Youngstown Municipal Court dismissed city murder charges against Jones. The charges were dismissed because Jones has already been indicted by a county grand jury and will be headed to county court.
On Aug. 6, officers responded to gunshots fired at the Wirt Street residence. When they arrived, they found Reeder, 19, of Superior Street, shot in the head. Teague, 56, owner of the house, was found shot in the back.
Reed was pronounced dead at the scene, and Teague died later at St. Elizabeth Health Center.
Keilan A. Clinkscale, 22, of Coronado Avenue, who turned himself in last month, faces two counts of murder with firearm specifications in relation to the same murders.
County records show that Jones already has a felony receiving-stolen-property-case pending before Judge Lou A. D’Apolito of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.
There had been a bench warrant issued for his arrest in that case. He is set to appear before Judge D’Apolito on Nov. 4.
Jones was accused of domestic violence after an argument with his 19-year-old girlfriend in 2011.
He was also charged with possession of marijuana in 2007.
