A jury has found two suspects in a Youngstown murder case not guilty on nearly all charges against them.

After not reaching a verdict on Friday, the jury resumed deliberations on Tuesday in the case of 35-year-old Kenneth Carter and 23-year-old Terry Hopkins. Ultimately, both men were found not guilty of the murder charges against them. 

However, Carter was still convicted of a charge of improper handling of firearms in a motor vehicle. An employee at Judge Anthony Donofrio's court tells 21 News this was the only charge anyone was convicted of.

Both men were charged in the death of 42-year-old Resean Graham.

Police found Graham dead from several gunshot wounds in a home on Griselda Avenue in January 2025. Officers arrested Carter shortly after the shooting. Hopkins turned himself in to the police a few days later.

The trial was delayed several times after the men were charged in April 2025. Both men asked a judge to dismiss the case, but those requests were denied in December.

Deliberations first began on Friday, Jan. 16. Because the jury did not reach a decision before the weekend, the group was ordered to return to the courthouse today to continue their work.
