WARREN A Youngstown man was given an indefinite sentence of four-to-five-and-a-half-years for a conviction in a July 9, 2020, shooting at a Willard Street NE home in Warren.
Longino Roman Jr., 40, of 1554 Cascade Drive, Youngstown, pleaded guilty to three counts of felonious assault, one count of improper discharge of a firearm into a habitation and one count of having a weapon as a convicted felon. The assault and firearm charges carried firearm specifications that added one mandatory year of prison to Roman’s sentence, court officials said.
Trumbull County Common Pleas Judge Ronald J. Rice questioned the defendant about why he would shoot into a home, and Roman replied that he was reacting when he saw one of the inhabitants carry a firearm.
