YOUNGSTOWN Just two days into 2021, the city has its second shooting death victim.
About 2:30 p.m. Saturday, officers were called for a two-car crash at Wirt Street and Delaware Avenue on the North Side. When officers arrived, they found one of the drivers, a male in his 30s, had been shot.
He was taken to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital, but died from his wounds.
A police report states he had been shot elsewhere but then traveled northbound on Wirt, where he lost control and crashed into another vehicle near Delaware Avenue.
An occupant of the vehicle hit by the victim suffered only minor injuries. Officers and detectives are investigating the area to find where the victim was shot.
