YOUNGSTOWN — Prosecutors and a defense attorney will be paying a lot of attention to Facebook pages and cellphones connected to the Sept. 21 shooting death of Rowan Sweeney, 4.
That fact was revealed in Mahoning County Juvenile Court on Thursday during a virtual pretrial hearing for a juvenile named in the case, Brandon Crump, 17.
Attorneys in the case mentioned that there are lots of witnesses, too — and that several of them knew Kimonie Bryant, 24, the Struthers man accused of killing Rowan.
Rowan died and four adults were shot in the home on Perry Street in Struthers where Rowan lived with his mother, Alexis Schneider, one of the shooting victims. The three others were Andre McCoy, Yarnell Green Jr. and Cassandra Marsicola.
