The 20-year-old man charged with the city’s most recent murder will remain in the Mahoning County jail on a $1 million bond.

Lamont McQueen of West Lucius Avenue appeared Friday before Judge Elizabeth Kobly of Youngstown Municipal Court on a murder charge. He is charged with shooting 19-year-old Cedric

Robinson during a fight on the South Side on Wednesday.

McQueen told the judge he has no income and was assigned an attorney.

Prosecutors said McQueen has no prior criminal record, but they requested the high bond.

McQueen returns to court next Friday for a preliminary hearing.

Robinson’s killing is the city’s fourth homicide of 2012, compared with two at this time in 2011.
