Youngstown police investigating fatal shooting on Tod Lane

YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio

        Youngstown police say an unknown dispute between two men, who at one time were friends, is possibly behind the city's most recent homicide.

        The suspect Prince Jennings had been at 116 Tod Lane a few times on Friday looking for his estranged friend. Police say Dillon Howard wasn't home so Jennings went looking for him.

        Sergeant John Purdue, with Youngstown PD, said, "Earlier that day he had seen Howard and a friend of his walking on Wick Avenue, and Jennings took a couple of shots at Howard. Before that he allegedly assaulted a woman who was letting him stay at her place. And early yesterday on Mount Vernon he got into an altercation with a lady who let him stay with her.

        At around 1:00 a.m. Saturday morning, we believe the suspect came here to 116 Tod Lane, knocked on the door, then fired 12 shots into the house.       

        The victim 33-year-old Shannon Strosnider was pronounced dead at the scene." According to the police report bullets barley missed her ten year old son.

        Youngstown police believe her ex-boyfriend was the intended target. Friends are upset saying the victim Shannon Strosnider was recovering from heart surgery, needed assistance, and was in bed all the time.

        Belinda Gauna said, "Shannon was a very nice woman, she had a son who is ten years old, and a dog that never left her side. Her sister was also living with her."

        Police are looking for Prince Jennings, who is 6'1" and weighs about 240 pounds. If you have information call Youngstown Police or Crimestoppers anonymously at 330-746-CLUE.

YOUNGSTOWN

        Investigators say the suspect in the shooting death of a 33-year-old woman in a North Side home early Saturday was looking for someone else.

        Detective Sgt. John Perdue, lead investigator, said the suspect, Prince Jennings, 29, was looking for an ex-boyfriend of someone inside the home when he fired several shots inside about 12:55 a.m. Saturday.

        Killed in the shooting was Shannon Strosnider. Reports said she was shot in the calf and was unresponsive when found by police and the other people inside the home. Reports said her friends told officers Strosnider suffered from a heart ailment.

        Perdue said that Jennings had shot at the ex-boyfriend at Wick and Bissell avenues Friday afternoon, and investigators think Jennings headed over to the house because he believed the man would be there.

YOUNGSTOWN

        A suspect in a North Side homicide was taken into custody Tuesday afternoon in Farrell, Pa.

        Prince Jennings, 29, was arrested in the borough about 1:30 p.m. by members of the U.S. Marshals Fugitive Task Force on a federal warrant for a parole violation.

Douglas Bobovnyik.

        Jennings is a suspect in the murder of 33-year-old Shannon Strosnider, who was shot to death inside a home on Tod Lane about 12:55 a.m. June 29.

        For now, Jennings is charged with two counts of felonious assault in connection with a shooting at Wick and Bissel avenues on the afternoon of June 28.

Cheyenne      Wise:     UC,     community      ban      together      to      show

support      for      Wise      family

        Union College students, staff members and the community came together Friday to show their support for someone they have only known a short while.

        The college hosted a "Praying and Playing" event to help raise funds for the family of Cheyenne Wise, daughter of Jeremy and Katie Wise. Three-month-old Cheyenne passed away recently after being diagnosed with cancer.

        Caitlin Merritt, a Union volleyball player and organizer of the event, said, "When we initially came up with the idea to have a volleyball tournament to help raise money for the Wise family, we knew it would be big, but not big enough to raise $4, 500." Merritt said they received many requests for a special tee shirt designed especially for the event.

        "We even had people from around the world asking for a Playing and Praying t shirt, which was awesome! We literally put the whole thing together in about five days and the amount of support we received from Union and the community was endless, " she said.

        Merritt said Wise has had a big impact on her life.

        "Coach Wise has impacted not only my life, but this team's in the short amount of time we have known him. We could not do enough to help his situation the best we could. Every cent donated to the Playing and Praying event has helped tremendously. It is amazing to know that as the small Union Community on this campus, we will always be there for each other."

        In a statement from Wise, he said, "We have been so overwhelmed by the show of love and support from the Union College community. We have lived here for only seven or eight months, and moving here not knowing anyone. All of our family are in Ohio and Tennessee. But after going through what we've been through -- which no one should have to deal with, we now know we have family here in Kentucky. Union College is amazing. Union has truly overwhelmed us with their love. We are Union."
