WARREN — A Warren man has been indicted on federal firearms charges stemming from a fatal shooting outside a convenience store in Warren last month, authorities said, joining three others charged as surveillance video links two of them directly to the chaotic gunfight that left one person dead and another wounded.

An indictment was returned against Sean King, 37 on Tuesday according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

King joins Jumal Ellis Rowe, 32 and Rayjon Ray McElroy, 25, as each face federal charges related to illegal possession of firearms or ammunition as prohibited persons, according to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Savion Chase Woodall, 23, was charged and indicted for the murder of 31-year-old David Lee Owens III in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court.

The indictments connect the men to the Aug. 3 incident at the Convenient Food Mart on Elm Road NE, where a dice game escalated into a deadly shootout.

Rowe is charged with being a felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition, based on prior convictions for trafficking cocaine in 2013 and possession of cocaine in 2020 in Trumbull County, the federal indictment states.

McElroy faces charges of possession of a firearm and ammunition by a prohibited person, following a 2022 domestic violence conviction in Warren Municipal Court. King is accused of being a felon in possession of ammunition after a 2022 federal conviction for conspiracy to distribute cocaine base, fentanyl, fentanyl analogues and heroin, as well as distribution of heroin and fentanyl, the indictment states.

The charges follow an investigation by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and local law enforcement, detailed in a federal affidavit filed Aug. 7.

According to the document, Warren police and Trumbull County deputies responded to reports of gunfire around 5:19 a.m. on Aug. 3 at the store, located at 1409 Elm Road NE.

Officers found a man, later identified as Owens, lying unresponsive on the sidewalk near Larchmont Avenue with multiple gunshot wounds. He was pronounced dead a short time later at St. Joseph Warren Hospital.

A second victim from the same incident was dropped off at the hospital’s emergency room with gunshot injuries, the affidavit states. No other suspects or victims were found after officers cleared the parking lot and store interior.

Surveillance footage from the store’s cameras captured the events shortly after 4:14 a.m. video time. A group was loitering and playing dice outside the main entrance of the store when a fight broke out, quickly turning into a “shooting incident” involving multiple people exchanging gunfire in the parking lot, according to ATF Special Agent Jason M. Petaccio’s affidavit.

The video shows McElroy, wearing a white T-shirt, black jeans, black hat and white shoes, pulling a folding rifle, identified as a pistol-caliber carbine, from his waistband and firing during the melee. Investigators recovered 20 spent shell casings from the area where McElroy was last seen on camera. The ammunition was determined to have been manufactured outside Ohio, which establishes an interstate commerce link required for federal charges.

Rowe, dressed in a gray zip-up hoodie, black T-shirt, gray jeans, black and red shoes and a backward black-red-and-white baseball hat, is seen on video armed with a pistol in his waistband.

The weapon was later recovered under a silver Ford Explorer left in the parking lot and was a Glock semi-automatic pistol modified with a conversion barrel to fire 9mm rounds. Footage shows Rowe attempting to fire the gun between two parked vehicles, a gun malfunction, racking the slide and ejecting a live round. Six 9mm casings and one live 9mm cartridge were found in that spot, matching the modified firearm, which also was manufactured outside Ohio.

While the affidavit focuses on Rowe and McElroy’s direct involvement in the shooting, King’s charges are tied to ammunition possession linked to the larger investigation, though specific details of his role at the scene were not outlined in the document. All three men were aware of their prior convictions prohibiting firearm or ammunition possession, prosecutors allege.

The scene yielded additional evidence, including six 9mm casings, one live 9mm round and the Glock pistol, all processed by Warren’s crime scene unit. Only the Ford Explorer remained in the lot after two other vehicles fled.
