HUBBARD TOWNSHIP — A woman was killed, with her body discovered about 10 a.m. Thursday in a vehicle parked in a pull-out just off Seifert-Lewis Road.

The woman was shot and her death is being investigated as a homicide, Hubbard Township police Chief Greg Tarr said.

Police on Thursday did not release the name of the victim pending notification of relatives.

A Trumbull County 911 call log states a person called for help. The language in the report indicates the woman may have been killed by a former or current intimate partner, and that a friend of the victim may have found her.

She gave 911 dispatchers the name of a man she suspected of shooting her. That man, 25-year-old Devonte J. Douglas, showed up at the Youngstown Police Department shortly after the shooting attempting to get a car out of impound and was detained for questioning, according to a report.

Police were at his address on Dogwood Lane on Thursday afternoon, but would not say exactly what they were looking for or what connection it may have had to the shooting.

Douglas later was charged with homicide and has been booked into the Trumbull County jail.

Tarr said the woman who reported the death was not injured, and police were still processing the scene but had some leads.

“We have some leads on a suspect,” Tarr said. “The evidence suggests a probable homicide.”

Two vehicles, a Chevrolet Malibu and a Chevrolet Impala were parked, doors open, as township police officers and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation worked the scene Thursday afternoon.

The 911 call log lists the people involved in the call as Douglas, Judith A. Britton of Dogwood Lane and Adreionna F. Hasley Crockett of Dogwood Lane. The three have different street addresses, but all three addresses are within 0.2 of a mile, and are a few miles from where the woman’s body was found.
