A Mahoning County grand jury indicted a suspect in a March homicide on two counts of attempted murder and two counts of felonious assault.

Leonard E. Carter, 30, of Stewart Avenue, is charged with attacks on two people March 22 and March 27.

One of the attacks Carter is charged with is the beating of a man just before police found the body of Marqueese Shine, 27, inside a vacant 771 Willow St. home on the East Side.

Police estimated Shine had been there for at least a week, and he had evidence of being cut with a machete.

The person Carter is accused of attacking told police Carter threatened him with a machete and said he was dragged into the home and attacked, but managed to run outside and flag down a police officer. Police then went inside the home to investigate and found Shine.

The other attack was on March 22, according to the indictment.

Carter has been in the Mahoning County jail since he was arraigned in municipal court for the March 22 attack. He has not been charged with the homicide.
