2nd suspect caught

YOUNGSTOWN

The second suspect in the slaying of an 18-year-old July 26 was caught Tuesday morning.

Capt. Brad Blackburn said U.S. Marshals arrested James Johnson, 15, on an aggravated murder charge. He was taken to the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center.

Johnson is wanted in the death of Jarell Brown Sr. of East LaClede Avenue, who was found shot to death about 10:15 p.m. July 26 at West Indianola Avenue and Market Street.

Arrested last week in Brown’s murder was Brayquan Walker, 16. A juvenile court spokesman said Walker was arraigned Tuesday and will have a pretrial hearing sometime within the next 30 days.

Police said Brown was killed after a dispute with Walker and Johnson over a criminal matter all three were involved in and arrested.

Man found shot

YOUNGSTOWN

Police say a man who was found shot about 2:10 a.m. Tuesday at a 3200 Market St. gas station got into an argument with someone else right before he was shot, Capt. Brad Blackburn said.

When police arrived, they found a 28-year-old man hanging out of the door of a car in the parking lot. Reports said two employees of the station were trying to help him. The victim is being treated at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

Passed out in car

YOUNGSTOWN

Police reports said a man who was found passed out in a car about 8:25 p.m. Monday on Homewood Avenue on the South Side was so drunk he had to be kept in the hospital overnight.

Police were called for a report of a man sitting in a car for over an hour and found Anthony McHellon, 63, passed out in his car.

Reports said McHellon smelled heavily of alcohol and passed out several times after he was revived.

McHellon was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where a blood sample was taken. Reports said police were told by hospital staff he would have to stay the night because of his condition. Police cited McHellon with operating a motor vehicle while under the influence.
