YOUNGSTOWN — Khayree C. Williams, 27, pleaded guilty Wednesday to voluntary manslaughter and robbery in the June 6, 2021, shooting death of Kasean Bunch, 23, in the 2500 block of Glenwood Avenue on the South Side.

His plea calls for Williams to get 20 to 24 1/2 years in prison with credit for 822 days spent in the Mahoning County jail awaiting trial. Pat Kiraly, county assistant prosecutor, said the victim’s family agrees with the recommended sentence and plea.

Williams was indicted on charges of aggravated murder, two counts of murder and one count of aggravated robbery — all with gun specifications — and one count of being a felon in possession of a firearm. The aggravated murder was reduced to voluntary manslaughter in exchange for Williams’ plea.

Williams will be sentenced this morning before county Common Pleas Court Judge John Durkin.

A co-defendant in the case, Michael Collins III, testified during a hearing in 2021 in Youngstown Municipal Court that he drove Williams to a park on Glenwood Avenue while they were on a break from a roofing job and watched Bunch get into a fight with Williams and another co-defendant, Damon Williams, in a car.

Just prior to hearing gunshots, Collins testified he heard Damon Williams tell Khayree Williams: “If you got to shoot him, shoot him.”

Collins said he saw a “commotion” in the other car, then fighting and then heard two gunshots.

Damon Williams was in the driver’s seat, and Khayree Williams was in the back seat.

Collins said he and Khayree Williams were headed to Collins’ home in Boardman to rest a while when Khayree Williams asked Collins to drive him to the park on Glenwood Avenue.

Police described the victim being found in a rear parking lot of an address in the 2500 block of Glenwood.

Damon Williams, 27, was scheduled for trial in September on charges of aggravated murder, two counts of murder and one count of aggravated robbery — all with gun specifications — and one count of tampering with evidence. His case was postponed because of his diagnosis of sickle cell anemia, which caused in him being hospitalized about four times in recent years, his attorney Tom Zena told Durkin during a hearing.

Sickle cell anemia affects the shape of red blood cells, which carry oxygen to all parts of the body, according to the Mayo Clinic. It causes the body to not get enough oxygen, which causes fatigue. It can cause extreme pain.

Durkin said he is not sure “if or when we’ll be able to try Damon Williams’ case,” so he instructed prosecutors to proceed with the prosecution of Khayree C. Williams.

Collins is indicted on charges of tampering with evidence and obstructing justice. There are no hearings or trial scheduled in the case.
