Zachary Howell, 40, was found shot to death and burned beyond recognition inside a burned-out SUV behind a vacant house near Edgar Street and Josephine Avenue on the east side of Youngstown on February 20, 2017. Investigators reported he had been shot twice in the head before the vehicle was set on fire.

Police linked Lyric Moore, 25, and Terrell Martin, 40, to the killing. Authorities say Moore lured Howell out of his home to be robbed and that Martin was the shooter; Moore’s cell phone was recovered at the scene. Moore later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter after aggravated murder and aggravated burglary counts were amended; she was sentenced to 15 years with some charges and firearm specifications dropped in the plea. Martin pleaded guilty to murder and aggravated robbery and was sentenced to 18 years to life. During the investigation Martin attempted to take his own life and left a note for his family on an interview-room wall.

The Howell family has said they continue to seek closure and justice. Does anyone in Youngstown remember Howell or have information about what happened that night?
