Police were called to the home for a custody dispute and found Littlejohn and his wife at the home with Pargo and the infant. The infant’s mother was in an argument with Pargo earlier in the evening and had left by the time police arrived.

Police were about to clear the call because it appeared the dispute was settled when they say Littlejohn ran into the home, and they heard several shots, then Littlejohn ran outside, threw a revolver on the ground and surrendered.

Police went inside and found Pargo dead on a flight of stairs, still holding his baby.

The baby was not injured. Reports said Pargo was shot in the back six times.

Littlejohn has been in the Mahoning County jail on $1 million bond since his arraignment.

The grand jury also indicted Aaron Moore, 22, East Judson Avenue and Darren Moore, 23, East Judson Avenue, on aggravated robbery and felonious assault.

On Sept. 13, reports say officers were called about 10:40 p.m. to a 3309 South Ave. parking lot for an assault report. When they got there, they found a man unconscious missing his pants.

A witness told police they saw a man in dreadlocks walking away and police searched the area and found Darren Moore, 23, and his brother, Aaron Moore, 22, walking at Gibson and Palmer avenues and one of them was carrying a pair of pants.

Police questioned the brothers and inside the pants they found the victim's identification and cellphone along with $3 and a set of keys. Darren Moore also had blood on his knuckles, reports said.
