Aubrey F Toney, alleged shooter in Southside Repchik murder in 2010

YOUNGSTOWN
The U.S. Marshal’s Service assisted the Youngstown Police Department “pretty much around the clock” over the last four weeks in its successful effort to locate Aubrey F. Toney, Youngstown Police Chief Jimmy Hughes said.
Toney, 29, of Youngstown, gave himself up peacefully to members of the U.S. Marshal’s Service in a hotel room in Suwannee, Ga., an Atlanta suburb, at 2 a.m. Saturday.
He is being kept in the Gwinnett County Detention Center in Lawrenceville, Ga., pending legal proceedings to bring him back to Youngstown to face death-penalty-level charges.
He’s accused of being the triggerman in the Sept. 25 South Side killing of Thomas Repchic, 74, and wounding of Repchic’s wife, Jacqueline, 74, by firing a weapon into their older-model Cadillac at Southern Boulevard and Philadelphia Avenue just after they had left St. Dominic Church.
Jacqueline Repchic was shot in her leg, which had to be amputated.
Chief Hughes said Toney had been renting the hotel room for about two weeks, though it’s not clear if he had been staying there the whole time. Suwannee is about 35 miles east of Atlanta.
The first suspect in the shooting, Kevin Agee Jr., 25, was arrested Sept. 28

Unfortunately with the way things are run he wont get injected intravenously until 2028....
3028 is more like it.
Let the community stone him, we can do it at Wick Park on a Saturday evening. This would also help stimulate the economy in Ytown.
Very happy they arrested him. Hopefully, this will give the family of the victims some peace. Good Job PD
Let"s have them drive down Market Street while random people shoot up their car.
Maybe we just drag him down market with a chain like the dog he is
dont hate on dogs, they are loyal!
this is precisely why some animals eat their young.....
One less piece of garbage off the streets.
No money,no job....hanging out in Atlanta!
I like the public stoning idea. People can bring their own stones. One stone per person,no bigger then a baseball. Then can incorporate some sort of Downtown Dash with it. Maybe charge each person $5 and give it to the Harvest for Hunger....
knew it wouldn't take long, good work PD.
You got to remember his Law abiding sister said he is innocent.We should maybe ask his dad too.I'm sure these outstanding citizens would speak highly of him.He was probably in Atlanta working at homeless shelter donating his time.Or maybe he was helping.....who am I trying to kid handcuff him and his buddies, hang them from a pole and beat them like a pinata for $10 a shot.The money can go to the police dept.for more cops on the streets to stop thugs like this.Great job by the investigators for tracking this scum down and contrary to what some idiots say, the police can't prevent and anticipate what scum like this will do next.
My brudda be innoSENT!
why am i not surprised that he went to atlanta......the hoodlum capital of america.
Another Obama vote down the drain.....
Now there is probably some taxpayer paid ACLU attorney that is researching as to whether he can claim this was a accident since these scumbags did not intend to shoot Mr. Repchic so in reality it was a accidental shooting. Now I admit this is a off the wall defense but remember, the thing that matters most is the makeup of the jury , just ask OJ. For both trials, with different results.
Good point redvert,undoubtedley the car that was shot at veered a little to the left in front of Aubrey causing him to start shooting by accident.....ladies and gentlemen of the jury....
Dave Betras would say :
This was an erroneous hit so you must acquit !
Take this scumbag and put him on death row. NO deals on this one Mr. Gaines. Believe it---- you will be dealing with the rest of his family in the very near future. Maybe they can all share a cell-------wait, that would be overcrowding------and we sure don't want to do that. It will be interesting to see who defends him.
The sad part is that we have to spend millions by the time that this animal is put to death. I just wish that we could truly have a speedy trial, conviction and death sentence. We don't need to waste all of the money that it is going to take to put him down.
We will never see or hear or feel the presence of Thomas Repchic again in this world, but we will hear and see A.F. Toney again and again and again, as if we are being punished for his sins. Why are the sins of others so painful to society...and why do we continue in this way? The answer lies in the building Thomas Repchic and his wife had just left. If only Toney and felons like him could see the light of that building and not prey upon those who do.
