YOUNGSTOWN — Tyrone Chatman, 26, was found fatally wounded Tuesday morning in a fenced parking lot across from the Logan Gas Mart on Logan Avenue on the North Side.

Youngstown police said the vehicle in which Chatman was found had crashed through the fence and into the parking lot. At the same time — about 4 a.m. — a call for gunfire at the Logan Gas Mart was reported, according to a Youngstown police news release.

Youngstown police and ambulance personnel arrived to find the vehicle inside the fenced lot with a person behind the wheel. The vehicle appeared to have been hit by gunfire.

First responders attempted life-saving measures, but the victim — identified as Chatman — was declared dead.

Youngstown police detectives and crime scene personnel arrived, along with the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office, to carry out an investigation.

Numerous patrons were in and around the gas station during and after the incident, the news release states.

Anyone with information on what occurred is asked to contact Crime Stoppers at 330-746-CLUE or the police department at 330-746-8YPD with information or tips, which can be left anonymously.

Chatman’s death is the fourth one this year, following two separate homicides Feb. 4, who were both identified Tuesday in a news release from the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office.

PREVIOUS HOMICIDES

Dominique Caller, 32, was shot to death inside an after-hours club early that morning at 520 St. Louis Ave. on the South Side.

The Youngstown Police Department called the killing “an act of extreme violence and disregard for human life directed at a particular person.”

The statement added that “at this time, we do not believe it is related to any other event over the weekend.”

Youngstown police were called to the location, known unofficially as “The Bldng,” at 4:40 a.m., for a shooting. About 60 people were “partying” in the club when a man opened fire on the victim, according to the news release.

“Valiant efforts” were made by patrons in the club to provide life-saving measures, but the victim succumbed to his wounds, the release states.

That evening, Deandre Clyburn, 18, died after police and firefighters were called at 9:48 p.m. to the 300 block of South Truesdale Avenue on the East Side for a vehicle that crashed into the woods and a person having been shot. The vehicle also caught fire.

Youngstown safety officials were notified through a 911 call by another 18-year-old man that his friend had been shot in the episode.

When first responders arrived just before 10 p.m., they found a vehicle crashed into the woods and a man who had been shot. He was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, where he died from his injuries.

The 18-year-old who called 911 was not injured, and fire damage to the vehicle was minimal, according to the release provided by police early Monday.

Youngstown detectives and crime scene investigators, and the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office responded to the scene and began to investigate the matter as a homicide.

The first homicide was the Jan. 22 shooting death of Allen P. May, 23, on Evergreen Avenue near Erie Street on the South Side.

Jules L. Freeman, 21, of New Philadelphia, is charged in that case. Freeman was released from the Mahoning County jail last week after posting a $275,000 bond.
