YOUNGSTOWN — The Mahoning County Coroner’s office has confirmed the identity of the man killed on Rhoda Avenue in Youngstown on Sunday as Keondre Lewis, 19, and named the man killed early Friday in the city as Daniel Weaver, 39.

Lewis, a 2024 Youngstown East High School graduate, was found in the dining room of a home on Rhoda Avenue on the West Side with a gunshot wound when they arrived there for a 2:14 p.m. shooting that had just happened.

A coroner’s office news release states that an autopsy was conducted at the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office and the death remains under investigation by the coroner’s office and the Youngstown Police Department.

While Youngstown police were on Rhoda Avenue, “multiple witnesses” gave the name of the shooter to police, a Youngstown police report states. Detectives and crime scene investigators took over the scene to carry out an investigation.

“Officers were able to locate the suspect at a different location and take him into custody,” the report states.

On Monday afternoon, the 14-year-old boy accused in the killing appeared in Mahoning County Juvenile Court for his first hearing, which was before Magistrate Karen Romanno-Melone.

The boy’s charges are murder with a firearm specification, a “mandatory Serious Youthful Offender Specification,” plus a specification of forfeiture of a handgun. The boy was ordered held in detention in the Martin P. Joyce Juvenile Justice Center.

The criminal complaint in his case accuses the boy of purposely causing the death of the victim and having a weapon at the time of the murder or “used it to facilitate the offense.”

The Serious Youthful Offender specification states that if the boy is adjudicated a delinquent child for committing an act that would be aggravated murder or murder if committed by an adult, the child would be eligible for the Mandatory Serious Youthful Offender specification for being 14 or 15 years old at the time the offense.

The magistrate advised the boy his charges make him eligible to serve prison time as an adult if convicted.

An autopsy was conducted at the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office, and that death also remains under investigation by the coroner’s office and Youngstown Police Department, according to a coroner’s office police news release.
