Joseph A. Andrews Jr., 19, of Mansfield, Ohio, was found fatally shot on May 26, 2022, in the 300 block of Jennings Avenue. Police located his body early that morning with a firearm nearby and other evidence indicating a shooting had occurred. Family members had reported Andrews missing earlier that morning.

About 12:45 a.m. that same day a white Dodge Avenger matching the description of the vehicle Andrews was known to drive was found burning at North Lake Park, roughly 3.5 miles from the Jennings Avenue scene; fire damage initially prevented investigators from confirming ownership. The Mansfield Police Department describes the death as a shooting and says the investigation is ongoing as detectives work to identify suspects and gather evidence.

Anyone with information about Andrews, the vehicle, or events in Mansfield that night is asked to contact the Mansfield Police Department.
