Monday, November 18, 2013

YOUNGSTOWN — Police have issued warrants for 24-year-old Lavelle Stanley on charges of murder and felonious assault in connection with a double shooting at a 3628 Southern Blvd. business about 5:20 p.m. Friday.

Stanley is charged with killing 25-year-old Elliot Stewart and wounding his brother, Derrick Stewart, 26.

Reports said the two were shot after Elliot Stewart intervened in an argument between two women and a man was upset he had gotten involved. Elliot and the man, who police say is Stanley, seemed to have their differences ironed out before the brothers were shot.

Chief Rod Foley asks anyone who knows where Stanley is to call police at 330 747-7911 or Crimestoppers at 330 746-CLUE.
