YOUNGSTOWN - A Youngstown woman has filed a multi-million-dollar lawsuit against the city, several police officers, dispatchers, and a North Side bar on behalf of the daughter of a woman who was beaten to death by her husband.

LaDawnda Smith is the administrator of the estate of Ryan Weaver-Hymes, who died last February, just two days after her husband, Jason Hymes, beat her.

Smith's lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court that the couple was served alcohol at Topsy's Lounge on Logan Avenue shortly before Weaver-Hymes was beaten outside the bar on February 13, 2019.

According to the complaint, after the two returned to their Alameda Avenue home, Weaver-Hymes' young daughter called 911 to report that her mother was being beaten by Hymes.

The complaint alleges that although there was blood on a vehicle and evidence that Weaver-Hymes had been beaten, officers left the scene after only four minutes.

The suit says the daughter called 911 again four minutes later to report that Hymes was beating her mother again.

The lawsuit says a dispatcher was going to send police back to the home, but an officer or officer instructed her not to dispatch anyone because "it is not illegal for people to argue."

Just after midnight, Hymes's sister-in-law called 911 to request an ambulance because Weaver-Hymes was unconscious. Weaver-Hymes was taken to St. Elizabeth Hospital, where she died less than two days later, according to the complaint.

Hymes was convicted of murder, felonious assault, and domestic violence and was given a sentence of 23-years-to-life in prison.

The complaint says the victim was denied due process of law and that police acted with wanton and reckless misconduct.

The lawsuit, which seeks a trial by jury, seeks compensatory damages of at least $5 million from each of the ten defendants as well as unspecified punitive damages.

Neither the City of Youngstown nor any of the other defendants have filed an answer to the complaint.
