YOUNGSTOWN — Sixteen hours after Youngstown recorded its 20th homicide of the year Saturday, it had its 21st homicide, as a 26-year-old man was found shot to death near a business at 2210 South Ave. at 4:41 a.m. Sunday.

Police were dispatched to the South Side location for a shooting and found the man dead near the sidewalk with multiple gunshot wounds. As of about 7:30 a.m. Sunday, police had no suspect, no motive for the shooting and no other information to provide, according to a Youngstown Police Department news release.

The police detective division and crime scene unit and Mahoning County Coroner’s Office are investigating.

The address of the shooting is where Miss Daisy’s Place was located in July 2021, when two women and a man were found shot inside the business around 3 a.m. The owner of the business was charged with misdemeanor illegal alcohol sales the following March after agents with the Ohio Investigative Unit served a search warrant at the business.

It is unknown whether the homicide was related to the building at that address.

Anyone with information about the homicide is asked to call the Youngstown Police Department at 330-742-8911 or Crime Stoppers at 330-746-CLUE. Tips remain anonymous, and a reward may be available.

At 12:30 p.m. Saturday, Youngstown police were called to the 1900 block of East Midlothian Boulevard for gunfire and found a man, 22. Officers and ambulance personnel arrived quickly and began life saving measures, but he was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where he died.

That killing took place in a well traveled area, where there is a likelihood that someone might have seen something, police stated in a press release. Police asked for the public’s help also in solving that crime.

The 1900 block is east of Interstate 680 near Sheridan Road.

Youngstown had 24 homicides in 2022, counting the April 1, 2022, shooting death of James Sheets by Struthers police officers at the corner of Steel Street and Salt Springs Road on the West Side.

The total of 21 homicides for this year includes the Oct. 12 officer involved shooting death of Ricco Acevedo, 45, by Youngstown police at a home on Helena Avenue on the South Side.

The previous homicide before Saturday’s death was the Nov. 27 shooting death of Alfred Hall, 42 at a home on Park Hill Drive on the South Side.

Hill was killed and his girlfriend, 43, was wounded by gunfire reported at 4:46 a.m. at the home, which is near the Mill Creek MetroParks Police Department on Glenwood Avenue.
