YOUNGSTOWN A Warren woman has been indicted, accused of driving the vehicle in a drive-by shooting on East Avondale Avenue March 31 that struck a 13-year-old girl in the leg while in bed.
Jana M. Cox, 25, of York Avenue, was indicted Thursday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court on discharging a firearm on or near prohibited premises, improperly discharging a firearm into a habitation or a school safety zone, felonious assault and improperly handling firearms in a motor vehicle. Some of the charges also carry gun specifications that could add extra time to her sentence if she is convicted.
The victim in the 2 a.m. shooting is expected to recover, Youngstown police Chief Carl Davis has said.
