YOUNGSTOWN --The Mahoning County Coroner's Office has identified the three people killed in homicides Saturday and Sunday as Josea Hodges, 22; Chyann Gruber, 20; and Ty'Rice Logan, 26.
Hodges was killed Saturday morning in the 1900 block of East Midlothian Boulevard on the South Side.
The coroner's office said they were notified at 11:30 a.m. of Hodges' death at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital as a result of multiple gunshot wounds.
Police have not given a specific time for the killing but said it happened at or near a well traveled portion of the roadway. They asked that anyone who saw anything should call police.
Gruber's body was found on Old McCartney Road on Saturday afternoon. She had multiple gunshot wounds, the coroner's office reported.
No Youngstown police report or press release has been provided in that case, and police were not willing to provide any other details on that case at a news conference Monday at the Youngstown Police Department.
In Logan's death, police said his body was found near the sidewalk at 4:41 a.m. near Miss Daisy's Place, 2210 South Ave. on Sunday with multiple gunshot wounds.
Youngstown Police Capt. Jason Simon said police have "persons of interest or suspects in mind for all three of these cases." Police said it does not appear the three cases are related.
