The suspect in a shooting death Wednesday in a Cohasset Drive home has spent almost 21/2 years behind bars since he turned 18.
Sir Wolfgang Green, 21, of Summer Street, is wanted on charges of murder, being a felon in possession of a firearm and tampering with evidence in the death of 16-year-old Devon Bailey.
Bailey was shot in the chest about 8:35 p.m. Wednesday inside a home at 559 Cohasset Drive and later died at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.
Detectives refused to release any details about Bailey’s death Friday or how Green came to be a suspect. They had said earlier there was a large crowd of both juveniles and adults at the house when police arrived.
Green, according to court records, has served two prison sentences. In 2013, he received a year in prison after he violated probation in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on charges of breaking and entering and possession of cocaine for which he earlier had pleaded guilty and had been sentenced to probation.
In January 2014, Green was sentenced to 18 months in prison, also in common pleas court, on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm and was given credit for 100 days served in the county jail while awaiting the outcome of his case.
He also was in juvenile court several times back to when he was 12, according to records there.
In 2006, he was charged with breaking and entering; a criminal-trespassing charge in 2007; and a charge of making false alarms in 2008.
In 2011, he was charged with receiving stolen property, and also faced two counts of receiving stolen property, breaking and entering, theft and vandalism.
