WARREN — A Warren man was indicted on murder and related charges in connection with the Aug. 3 fatal shooting of 34-year-old Choice D. Washington.

David N. Hollie, 46, of Warren, appeared before Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Sarah Thomas Koovor for his arraignment, where he was ordered held without bond due to the severity of the charges and his extensive criminal history.

His attorney, Ross Smith, entered a not guilty plea on Hollie’s behalf and waived the 24-hour notice requirement for the arraignment.

Hollie faces six counts, including murder with a firearm specification, a repeat violent offender specification, having weapons under disability, tampering with evidence, failure to comply with a police officer’s order and receiving stolen property.

Trumbull County assistant prosecutor Chris Becker cited video evidence showing Hollie with a handgun and executing the victim.

“Given the severity of the crime and the danger he poses, we ask that the court hold him without bond,” Becker said, noting that Hollie had a prior conviction for manslaughter in 2005, for which he served 10 years in prison.

Smith, standing in as counsel for Hollie during the arraignment, acknowledged the seriousness of the allegations but noted a conflict with Hollie’s initial representation. The court appointed attorney Aaron Meikle to represent Hollie moving forward, with a pretrial hearing scheduled for the following week.

The charges stem from a shooting around 2:40 a.m. on Scott Street NE in Warren, near Waverly Avenue and Lamphier Place, where Washington was found with a gunshot wound to the forehead.

He was pronounced dead at a local hospital days later, according to police.

A Warren police report states Hollie fled the scene and later crashed during a pursuit on Youngstown Warren Road in Niles, leading to his arrest.

Hollie’s criminal record spans over two decades, including a 2006 conviction for involuntary manslaughter with a firearm specification, amended from charges of aggravated murder and robbery, for which he served a 10-year sentence plus three years for firearm specifications.

According to a 2005 Warren police report, Angeline Lavine, 37, then a resident of Scott Street NE, was shot in the head with a handgun at about 2:10 a.m. at a residence in the 400 block of Summit Street NW.

She was taken by ambulance to Trumbull Memorial Hospital, where she later died.

After interviewing witnesses and conducting a preliminary investigation, police said they arrested Hollie at his residence within an hour after the shooting. Hollie was initially jailed on a felonious-assault charge, but the charge was increased to aggravated murder after Lavine died.

His prior convictions also include aggravated robbery, burglary, drug trafficking, domestic violence, and multiple driving violations, according to court records.
