Brother of man killed by police in 2013 arrested after chase

WARREN — Tre Vaughn Walker, the younger brother of a man killed in an Oct. 18, 2013, confrontation with a Warren police officer, was arrested by Warren police after a chase early Sunday near the spot of his brother’s death and almost exactly two years later.

Walker, 22, of Stewart Drive Northwest, is in the Trumbull County jail facing arraignment today in Warren Municipal Court on a felony charge of failure to comply with the orders of a police officer after Warren police chased him in a vehicle and on foot at 2:23 a.m. in the Jackson Street-Kenwood Drive Southwest area.

Police were told by two men in a van that males in a small sport-utility vehicle had pointed an assault rifle at them in the parking lot of the Powerhouse Bar on Mahoning Avenue earlier.

Officers located the SUV and chased it at high speeds to the West Side, where Walker and another man got out and ran.

Walker was apprehended in the back yard of a house on Jackson Street and taken into custody without incident.

Police found no weapons in the SUV or in Tre Vaughn Walker’s possession, but they found rubber gloves in the SUV. The other male got away.

Tre Vaughn Walker’s brother, Taemarr Walker, 24, died in a confrontation with a Warren police officer Oct. 19, 2013, on Risher Road near Palmyra Road Southwest. He was wearing rubber gloves and had two firearms in the car — including one that looked like an assault rifle.

Prosecutors said the elder Walker had been at the II Hype bar, which is across the street from the Powerhouse, just before his confrontation with police.
