YOUNGSTOWN

A Mahoning County Common Pleas Court grand jury indicted 24 people Thursday, including a South Side man who faces several charges in an Austintown home invasion in January.

Marquel Clemons, 21, of West LaClede Avenue, was indicted on two counts of aggravated burglary, two counts of aggravated robbery, two counts of felonious assault, kidnapping and improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation.

All of the charges have a firearms specification attached to them.

Police said Clemons and another man entered an apartment in the 300 block of North Roanoke Avenueon Jan. 4 as a 7-year-old child slept, and Clemons hit the mother and held her at gunpoint. The child was in another room and not harmed, reports said.

Reports said Clemons and the other man wanted to know where the woman’s boyfriend was and when they were told he wasn’t home, they left, then tried to get back inside again.

The boyfriend had been talking to her on the phone and came to the home, but when he got there the men fired several shots at him before he drove away.

Two men later that evening went to St. Elizabeth Health Center claiming they had been shot, reports said, which is when the investigation started.

So far, Clemons is the only person charged in the case.

The grand jury also handed down secret indictments against six men and a woman on drug charges. Their identities will be revealed when they are arrested.
