YOUNGSTOWN — Jonthony Altreche, 21, pleaded guilty Monday to involuntary manslaughter, improper discharge of a firearm at or into a liquor permit premises, and felonious assault.

He had been charged with murder in the Dec. 10, 2023, shooting death of Ty’Rice Logan, 26. Logan was found near the sidewalk in front of Miss Daisy’s Place on South Avenue near Pasadena Avenue.

But in Altreche’s plea agreement, the prosecution and defense are jointly recommending to Mahoning County Common Pleas Court Judge Maureen Sweeney that he get 30 to 35 1/2 years in prison. Altreche will be sentenced later.

Altreche also pleaded guilty Tuesday to two firearm specifications, one count of cocaine possession and one count of failure to comply with an order or signal of a police officer. Altreche had a trial date of July 13 before his plea was accepted. Altreche appears to have no other criminal record in the Youngstown area.

Altreche was scheduled for trial in February, but the trial was canceled after Altreche asked for a new trial and Sweeney granted the request.

At that time, Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor Rob Andrews said, “Just for the record, the state’s last offer was 18 (years in prison) to life, pleading to the murder charge.”

Shortly after the killing, police said Logan’s body was found near the sidewalk outside of Miss Daisy’s Place at 4:41 a.m. with multiple gunshot wounds.

At Altreche’s arraignment in Youngstown Municipal Court in March 2024, Assistant Prosecutor Shaina Rochford asked a magistrate to set a high bond for Altreche because of him “being on video shooting the victim.”

The failure to comply and cocaine possession relate to Altreche’s arrest on the murder charge.

According to a Youngstown Police Department news release, officers with its Neighborhood Response Unit arrested Altreche on Feb. 3, 2024, on the South Side after seeing him in a black BMW committing a traffic violation on or near Wilson Avenue.

While attempting to make the traffic stop on the vehicle, a short pursuit took place and ended in a crash without injuries. During the pursuit, Altreche’s vehicle collided with another automobile, according to a police report.
