Joseph Sanders, 51, was found shot to death inside his home on Cherry Hill Drive in Youngstown, Ohio, on December 20, 2022. He was discovered alongside 41-year-old Kimberly Kalasky; both deaths were ultimately ruled homicides after investigators initially considered an overdose.

Police reported the shooting happened inside the residence with no signs of forced entry. Several shell casings were found near the victims, and detectives said the perpetrator appeared to know the victims. A 24-year-old man from Youngstown, Mikese Stevens, was questioned soon after the bodies were found and was later arrested and charged in connection with the double killing.

The Mahoning County Coroner’s Office and the Youngstown Police Department continue to investigate the scene and circumstances. If anyone knew Joseph, Kimberly, their movements on December 20, 2022, or has information about who entered the Cherry Hill Drive home that day, please come forward.
