WARREN -- A second arrest was made by Warren police investigating the Feb. 5 home invasion and slaying of 28-year-old Adam Spaid at 2109 Milton St. SE.
Police Chief Eric Merkel confirmed a 17-year-old Struthers boy was taken into custody Friday and sits in the Trumbull County Juvenile Justice Center.
Court records show Christian Chaney is charged with aggravated murder, aggravated burglary and aggravated robbery. He is set for a plea hearing at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday in Trumbull County juvenile court.
A Youngstown man was arraigned Feb. 10 on murder charges connected to the case.
Prosecutors say charges are pending against three other people who might be involved in the crimes.
Ronieque K. Requel, 26, of 196 W. Myrtle Ave., Youngstown, has pleaded not guilty in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court to two counts of aggravated murder, both with firearm specifications; one count of aggravated robbery with a firearm specification; one count of aggravated burglary with a firearm specification; one count of having weapons while under disability with a firearm specification; one count of intimidation with a firearm specification; and one count of receiving stolen property.
Requel and the juvenile are being charged in the home invasion and the death of Spaid. Police officers found the victim mortally wounded at the Milton Street SE address while investigating a burglary.
Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Sean O'Brien ruled that Requel be held in Trumbull County jail without bond.
During the Feb. 10 arraignment, Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Becker said Requel posed a "great threat to the community," and has threatened victims and witnesses in the case.
Becker said more than 30 rounds were shot during the home invasion that included five assailants.
Spaid had addresses in Warren and New Middletown. He died after being taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital of major injuries, including apparent broken bones, a severe laceration and possible internal injuries, according to the police report.
