Robbery at gunpoint on city’s East Side

YOUNGSTOWN

Police are looking for a teen boy who went to a Shehy Street home and robbed the occupants at gunpoint.

According to police reports, a 21-year-old Shehy man was home at 7 p.m. Monday when a 17-year-old male he knows only by first name came into his East Side house brandishing a firearm and demanding valuables.

The resident handed over a cellphone, video-game system and $50 before the teen ran out of the house.

The crime was not reported until Wednesday afternoon, however. The gun used in the crime is said to have been stolen from another person who did not report the weapon stolen, police added.

In observance of National Assisted Living Week next week, Windsor Estates Assisted Living, 5240 Windsor Way, sponsors an event developed to bring together residents, families, employees, volunteers and the surrounding community to celebrate “Art for the Ages.”

“Art for the Ages” was chosen as this year’s National Assisted Living Week theme because it is about celebrating creativity, appreciating all forms of art, and recognizing how art enhances everyone’s lives.

On Sunday, Windsor Estates will kick off National Assisted Living Week with a Grandparents Day buffet. Close to 60 residents, family members and staff will enjoy a lunch buffet and music by Steve Fazzini.

Windsor Estates Assisted Living is owned and operated by Windsor House Inc., owners and operators of 11 skilled-nursing homes and four assisted-living communities in northeastern Ohio and western Pennsylvania.
