WARREN — A rash of gun violence since Friday in Warren sent five people, including two teens — one on Monday night — to area hospitals, according to police.

Police were called just after 8:30 p.m. Monday to the basketball courts at the Highland Terrace housing complex on Lane Drive SW for a man, 18, who had been shot, said Warren police Sgt. Tim Parana. Reports indicate a man fled the housing complex in a vehicle on Main Street SW.

“We have some different names we are checking. We don’t know why he was shot,” Parana said.

The victim, whose name was not available, was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

City councilwoman Cheryl Saffold, D-6th Ward, said management at the complex told her the shooting was caught on newly installed surveillance cameras at the courts.

“I went there after I heard what happened to speak to the neighbors. People told me who they thought did this, but are afraid to say anything for fear of retribution. Several kids at the basketball courts saw the whole thing,” she said.

Another shooting brought police just before midnight Sunday to the Powerhouse Bar and Grill, 999 Mahoning Ave. NW, where they found five shell casings in the parking lot, but no victim, according to a police report.

A security guard at the bar told police a man came to the door and said he was shot and needed help, but he was holding a gun, so the guard told the man to leave, the report states. The victim drove away, witnesses told police. Officers found the man when staff at St. Joseph Warren Hospital called to report a gunshot victim.

Jarelle F. Johnson, 20, of Warren, was shot in his stomach and arm, and later taken to St. Elizabeth hospital for treatment, the report states.

Also Sunday, a drive-by shooting just before 9 p.m. on Rogers Avenue NE sent Nazzarion M. Battee-Diggs, 17, of Niles, to Trumbull Memorial Hospital with a wound to his left foot, a report states.

The teen reported he was walking on Rogers Avenue NE when a small, green vehicle pulled up and someone inside started shooting. The boy started running through yards and jumped two fences on Milton Street SE before stopping in the 2300 block of Burton Street SE, where he was found by police. He told police he did not know who shot him and didn’t get a license plate number, according to the report.

After a man and woman were shot in their legs while driving around 5:30 p.m. Friday on First Street SW at Highland Avenue SW, the man was cited for driving while suspended.

Paris Martinique Davie, 27, Warren, and William O. Campbell, 21, Warren, were lying in the driveway at 148 First St. when officers arrived. Campbell told police the driver a sport utility vehicle shot into his 2001 Mercury Grand Marquis.

Davie and Campbell were treated at St. Joseph hospital, where an officer gave Campbell the citation for driving while suspended, the report states. Police found eight shell casings. Campbell told police he didn’t know who shot at them and the vehicle drove away north on Highland Avenue SW, the report states.
