YOUNGSTOWN Police now know that the shooting of a teen girl on the South Side Friday evening and the shootings of two women who went to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital are connected.
Detective Jerry Fulmer of the Youngstown Police Department said Monday the victim found at a home in the 100 block of Willis Avenue with a gunshot wound to the neck was a juvenile and that the two other females are in their early 20s.
Police were called to the Willis Avenue home at 6:57 p.m. and found the juvenile victim. She was taken to the hospital.
The juvenile and one of the adult females are still in the hospital but are expected to survive, Fulmer said. The juvenile, who was a sophomore at Chaney High School, according to a report, was in stable condition Friday night.

When Randall Mayhew was reinstated as a Columbus police officer in January, it didn t really shock Hannah Estabrook.
It did, however, sadden Estabrook, who was for several years a docket coordinator with the Changing Actions to Change Habits (CATCH) Court, a special court for prostitutes and women involved in human trafficking. She is now helping to build Sanctuary Night, a drop-in center on Sullivant Avenue that will focus on providing food, showers and other services with a focus on those women. I was really disappointed, particularly because I know some of the women who were specifically hurt by officer Mayhew and they have overcome so much already, Estabrook said. The fact they found some courage to share their stories, they were even in some cases willing to be witnesses in his case. It s so remarkable to me and to respond to that courage with this kind of potentially crushing blow is devastating to me.
