YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - Bond is set at $1 million each for the suspects charged in connection with the shooting death of a Masury man whose body was found in a burning car on Youngstown's east side.

Twenty-six-year-old Akeem Brown and 21-year-old Destaney Phillips appeared on video monitors in Youngstown Municipal Court on Friday, as they were arraigned from their cells in the Mahoning County Jail.

The suspects are charged with aggravated murder for the shooting death of Anthony Bianco.

The body of the 51-year-old Masury man was found in burning car along Seifert Avenue near Knapp Avenue on July 15.

Bianco was so badly burned authorities could not make an immediate identification.

Investigators have not revealed a possible motive for the crime.

The next hearing for the suspects is scheduled for next Friday, unless they are indicted by a county grand jury first.
