Overview

  • Police say the delivery driver was confronted shortly before 10:30 p.m. on Jan. 18 at a West Delason Avenue address on Youngstown’s South Side.
  • A masked man met her at the door claiming he would get cash before two armed men appeared and the first returned with a rifle-style firearm.
