WARREN, Ohio - A Warren man plead on multiple murder charges in Trumbull County Court for his role in a fatal drive-by shooting near the Hot Dog Shoppe along West Market Street. 

20-year-old Dominic Harvey plead guilty to aggravated murder, aggravated attempted murder, tampering with evidence and receiving stolen property for the fatal shooting of Jauton Lee Jr. in July of 2022. 

Harvey was facing the death penalty, but agreed to a plea bargain that removed the death penalty specifications. 

Assistant Prosecutor Christopher Becker said Harvey used a stolen AR 15 to shoot Lee and wound 24-year-old Mitchell Powell. 

In delivering an emotional victim impact statement to the court, Lee’s mother Tiana Jackson, said she is grateful that her son’s executioner has been taken off the streets.

“You are now just a number ... your name will not be remembered for this cowardly act,” Jackson told the defendant as he sat in the court’s jury box.

Also in the courtroom was Lee’s 3-year-old daughter, J’rean.

Judge Rice said Harvey will now be classified as a violent offender, meaning if he is ever released from prison, he must give his address annually to the sheriff’s office.

Harvey’s attorney, Morgan Caruso, said her client, who didn’t previously have a criminal record, accepts full responsibility for the violent acts.

Harvey was sentenced to life in prison, but will be eligible for parole after serving 50-55 years.
