Jurors reported to Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on Tuesday for selection in an aggravated-murder case.

Matthew Cochrane, 26, of West Hylda Avenue, is charged in the death of Dajhon Neely, 20, of Liberty.

Neely was shot March 29, 2014, on South Avenue near the junction with Interstate 680 while he was inside a car. He died two days later.

Detectives said Neely and Cochrane were arguing via text message over a female before the shooting.

Judge Maureen Sweeney is hearing the case.

Cochrane also faces two counts of felonious assault because there were other people in the car with Neely.

Cochrane was not arrested in connection with the crime until May 2014.
