YOUNGSTOWN — A woman, 22, was found shot to death inside her apartment in the 2600 block of Tyrell Avenue in the Northwest corner of the city early Saturday.

The victim’s live-in girlfriend, Devyonna L. Taylor, 22, was charged with murder in the case and was taken to the Mahoning County jail, a Youngstown Police press release states. It refers to the killing as a “domestic homicide.”

Officers were called to the apartment at 1:35 a.m. for a shooting and found the victim in her apartment. Life-saving measures were attempted, “but unfortunately they were unsuccessful and the victim had passed,” the release states.

The detective bureau and crime scene unit were called to the scene and began an investigation.

The apartment complex is called Valley View Estates and is located off of Salt Springs Road near the intersection of the 711 Connector and I-680.

This is the ninth homicide of the year in the city. The previous one before his one was the June 18 shooting death of Dailyn Ford, 18, in the 900 block of Lanterman Avenue three-tenths of a mile from Lanterman’s Mill on Youngstown’s South Side.

A Youngstown Police press release stated that officers were called to the the 900 block of Lanterman Avenue at 12:05 a.m. for reports of gunfire and a victim shot. A Youngstown police report stated that is where they saw the young man laying in the roadway of Lanterman Avenue suffering from an apparent gunshot wound.

Officers and ambulance personnel attempted life saving measures, but he died from his injuries soon afterward at the hospital, the release stated. During the investigation, officers learned that several houses had also been struck by gunfire.
