CAMPBELL — The Mahoning County Coroner’s Office has released the name of the man who died Saturday night in Campbell.

A press release from that office states the man was 76-year-old James Mszanski. The release states that an autopsy has been conducted by the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner and the death remains under investigation.

Campbell police have declined to comment on the case, and a member of Mszanski’s family also declined to speak about his death.

Man shot on Monday on Youngstown’s West Side

YOUNGSTOWN — A man was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital after he was shot on South Hartford Avenue at Walden Court on the city’s West Side.

A Youngstown police report states officers were called around 6:40 p.m. Monday. When they arrived, they found the victim on the porch of a home. He is expected to be OK, police said.

A Youngstown 911 call log states police dispatchers were told about seven people were involved in a “shootout” and ran through yards. Multiple people were shooting at a house, the call log states.

A window in the front of a house nearby where the victim was found was struck, apparently by gunfire, the call log states.

Murder case postponed again for lack of jury

YOUNGSTOWN — Once again, the murder trial of Robert L. Moore has been postponed.

Jury selection was happening Tuesday morning, but the defense and prosecution were unable to pick a jury, so the case is now set for Jan. 13, court officials said.

Picking a jury has been one of the problems in the case in the past, as have issues with unavailability of witnesses and illness. Juror misconduct also was a reason for a prior delay.

The case is before Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney. Moore, 54, is charged in the 2009 disappearance and presumed murder of 16-year-old Glenna J. White, who disappeared from a home in Smith Township and has never been located.
