YOUNGSTOWN — A juvenile showed up at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital with a gunshot wound after multiple calls for gunfire in the 2800 and 2900 blocks of Eddie Street on the West Side Wednesday night. The juvenile was in stable condition later.

Youngstown police said they believe he suffered the wound on Eddie Street.

A Youngstown police report states that officers were called there at 10:31 p.m., and officers found a 2011 Chevy Malibu heading east on Eddie. Officers made a traffic stop, securing two males from the car. The car had multiple bullet holes, including the back driver’s side window, front driver side door, hood, both passenger side doors and frame of the front passenger door, the report states.

When asked where the shooting happened, the two males directed officers down the street.

While checking that area, officers found a white Kia stuck in the mud in the yard of a home on Eddie Street. It had two bullet holes in the driver’s side front and back door. Officers made contact with an “involved” person, who would not allow police to check the house for additional people inside.

Officers then found a handgun near the Kia and four spent bullet shell casings in the yard and on the front porch of a home on Eddie Street.

While officers were there, they were advised that a juvenile had arrived at the hospital with a gunshot wound. No other information in the report was provided on the nature of the victim’s injuries. The vehicles that were located were towed so they could be examined by detectives. The two males from the Malibu were later released.

EARLIER GUNFIRE

At 7:18 p.m. Wednesday, an officer on patrol at Himrod Avenue S. Fruit Street on the East Side heard “massive gunfire west of me” that “appeared to be very close.” The officer notified dispatch and saw a white car traveling east on Himrod Avenue past Fruit Street at a high rate of speed. A tall, thin male raised up out of the vehicle from the rear passenger window shooting a dark, long gun, the report states. There was a curved bullet magazine protruding from the bottom of the rifle.

The incident appeared to have started on Himrod Avenue at North Lane Street, the officer reported. The officer continued east on Himrod Avenue looking for the vehicle and was flagged down by two people who said the victim vehicle was a blue car that had been hit by bullets.

The officer saw a blue Honda on Lincoln Park Drive that was being followed by a police vehicle. An officer in another cruiser stopped the vehicle. The driver of the vehicle said he or she did or did not know who was shooting at him or her, the report states.

The vehicle was hit by about a dozen gunshots, mostly in the rear and right side. The person was later released from the scene. The officer went back to Himrod Avenue and found a “scene full of spent shell casing that spanned from Lane Avenue/Himrod Avenue Expressway intersection east,” the report states.

Altogether, officers gathered 50 spent bullet shell casings on Himrod Avenue.
