WARREN — A man who was shot in the face Monday afternoon inside a vehicle in the parking lot of a convenience store at the corner of Paige Avenue and Elm Road has died, according to Warren police.

Police reports state the victim, Darrell Staggers, of Warren, died after being transported from the shooting scene Monday by ambulance to St. Joseph Warren Hospital. He died from his injuries at the hospital.

A 911 report states a caller saw the man being shot inside the vehicle by another skinny man wearing all black who then fled the scene inside a red vehicle. The shooting happened at 12:20 p.m. Monday.

Police are still investigating the shooting and looking for suspects who were involved.

A caller to 911 from Hodas Tobacco, which is where the parking lot shooting occurred, said they had security video to give to police.

The windows of the vehicle Staggers was in had been shot out and shattered. There were also some bullet holes in the car.

The road on Paige Avenue had 17 yellow evidence markers where police on Monday were taking photos of the shell casings. Other callers to 911 had reported that in addition to the red vehicle that fled the scene, a white vehicle parked behind the shooting scene also fled the location, heading toward Atlantic Street.

Anyone with information on any potential suspects is asked to call Warren Detective Abigail Krafcik at 330-841-2914.

This is the city’s first homicide of the year. There were seven last year.
