Yarnell C. Ya-Ya Green Jr. was a 32-year-old father and community member from Youngstown, Ohio, who died on September 18, 2022, at St. Elizabeth Healthcare Center after being shot seven times following an altercation. The confrontation began at O’Donnold’s Irish Pub on West Federal Street; Green and his companion were asked to leave after an argument with Johnny Serrano Jr., 24. As they walked toward Hazel Street, Serrano allegedly shot Green, who collapsed after saying someone’s shooting.

Serrano was arrested and charged with aggravated murder. At trial, Green’s girlfriend, Ashley Pratt, testified about the events she witnessed. The defense argued self-defense; the jury convicted Serrano on reduced charges. The prosecution had recommended an 11 to 15-year sentence, and Green’s family publicly expressed that they felt justice was not fully served.

Green’s mother, Harriet Blair, his sister Shayla Blair, and his children have spoken about the deep grief his death caused. Does anyone have information about Green’s last evening or the moments outside the pub that could help clarify what happened?
