YOUNGSTOWN — Allen G. Torres, 29, pleaded no contest Wednesday to felonious assault with a gun specification, being a felon in possession of a firearm and illegal possession of a firearm in a liquor permit premises and will be sentenced at 10 a.m. Oct. 1.

His sentence will run at the same time as a sentence of 46 months in federal prison in a March 19, 2024, incident that resulted in him pleading guilty to being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition Nov. 11, 2024.

Torres’s federal indictment in the March case stated that he possessed a firearm and ammunition, despite having a felony burglary conviction in 2016 in Mahoning County, a felony burglary conviction in 2018 in Mahoning County and a felony escape conviction in 2022 in Mahoning County.

The felonious assault and other convictions Wednesday relate to a call to Slick’s Bar & Grill, 2139 Hubbard Road on the East Side, which is near the entrance to the Northeast Ohio Correctional Center.

In that Jan. 1, 2024, crime, Youngstown police found the victim of a shooting on the floor, and the victim identified Torres as his assailant, said Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor Katherine Jones.

Torres was observed in the bar on security video, and a (bullet) magazine could be seen protruding from his jacket pocket,” Jones told Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Anthony D’Apolito.

Vindicator files state that Torres was arrested by Boardman police in March 2024 in the Slick’s Bar shooting.

During the arrest, he identified himself by a fake name. When law enforcement realized who he was, they found that he was wanted on a felonious assault warrant out of Youngstown for a Jan. 1 shooting on Hubbard Road in the city.

Boardman police and deputies at the Mahoning County jail notified Youngstown police after they determined the man was Torres by comparing fingerprints and other information at the Mahoning County jail, according to a Youngstown police report.

The initial Youngstown police report did not provide many details on the shooting, saying only that officers were sent to 2139 Hubbard Road for a shooting. Officers were dispatched at 12:18 a.m.
