Police said Brooks was the stepfather of Tubbs’ girlfriend. The two were arguing at a Dupont Street apartment and Brooks came to pick his stepdaughter up. Brooks and Tubbs then argued before Brooks was shot, reports say. He ran into some nearby woods but turned himself into police the next day. He has been in the Mahoning County jail since his arrest.

The grand jury also indicted Carlos Herring, 29, North Heights, on being a felon in possession of a firearm, possession of cocaine, possession of drugs and illegal use or possession of drug paraphernalia.
