Jury selection was underway Tuesday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court as the murder trial of a Youngstown man gets underway.

Johnny Serrano Jr., 24, was arrested for the September 18, 2022, shooting death of 32-year-old Yarnell Green Jr. in downtown Youngstown.

Responding to reports of gunfire near Federal and Hazel Street, officers say they saw a large crowd of people fleeing the area and Green lying on the ground with multiple gunshot wounds. Green was taken to the hospital where he was pronounced dead.

Serrano was indicted late last year on charges of aggravated murder, murder, involuntary manslaughter, felonious assault, and weapon violations.
