YOUNGSTOWN — A man, 31, was shot to death Sunday evening in the 200 block of Benita Avenue on the North Side of the city.

A suspect in the killing, Issac Chatman, 29, was at the scene when police arrived, according to a Youngstown police report released Monday morning.

Chatman was arraigned on a murder charge Monday afternoon in Youngstown Municipal Court and will return for a preliminary hearing at 9 a.m. June 15. If he is convicted of the charge, he could get 15 years to life in prison.

A Youngstown police news release states that officers were called to the 200 block of Benita Avenue at 6:19 p.m. for a shooting. When they arrived, they found a dead man with multiple gunshot wounds and also found Chatman, who turned himself in to police.

Youngstown police detectives, the police department’s crime lab and the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office began their investigation, according to Lt. Mohammad Awad of the detective division.

Chatman was later interviewed by detectives at the Youngstown Police Department and was booked into the Mahoning County jail. The news release and police report do not identify the victim.

Benita Avenue runs east-west between Fifth and Logan avenues, east of Crandall Park. The killing is the fifth homicide of the year in Youngstown. At this time last year, there were seven.

The most recent homicide before Sunday was the May 27 shooting death of Ty-Ron Perry Jr., 16, at a home in the 900 block of East Dewey Avenue on Youngstown’s South Side. Darius Smith, 22, is charged with murder in that case.

Before that, Kyree Hornbuckle, 25, was found April 28 at Oakwood Avenue and South Maryland Avenue on the West Side and later died at the hospital. Hornbuckle was first thought to have been a victim of a motorcycle accident, but he died at the hospital from gunshot wounds.

His girlfriend, Kayla Dawson, 26, is charged in Youngstown Municipal Court with murder and felonious assault in Hornbuckle’s death.

Before that, Charles Pullen Jr. 17, was shot to death April 1 in the 100 block of East Judson Avenue on the South Side.

Youngstown police said they were called to that location for a ShotSpotter notification, which alerts Youngstown police to gunfire on the South Side.

Shortly after the notification, police learned that a 17-year-old was taken by private vehicle to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital with at least one gunshot wound. The boy was later pronounced dead.
