WARREN, Ohio — An investigation is underway after a U.S. Postal Service mail carrier was shot and killed in Warren on Saturday — and a reward up to $250,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest of the suspect.
Warren police say they were dispatched to the 600 block of Olive Avenue Northeast after reports of shots being fired at around 1:44 p.m.
Upon arriving at the scene, officers found a U.S. Postal Service employee with a gunshot wound.
Police say that the man had been shot by a suspect in another vehicle while he was inside his U.S. postal van. Officers and EMTs performed life-saving measures on the victim, but he was transported to Trumbull Regional Medical Center, where he later died as a result of his injuries.
The victim has since been identified as 33-year-old Jonte Davis.
