Jason R. Fonseca Jr., a 20-year-old Hispanic man from Youngstown, Ohio, was shot multiple times and killed on February 17, 2016, in front of his home on Ayers Street. reports say the killing followed a dispute involving a car and a girl; prosecutors alleged the dispute involved a wrecked car. Two 20-year-olds, Kimani Hodges and Angel Bell, were identified as suspects. Prosecutors alleged Hodges shot Fonseca because of a dispute with Bell over the car.

Hodges’ defense said he acted in self-defense during a struggle with Fonseca, while Bell’s attorney maintained there were no witnesses placing Bell at the scene at the time of the shooting. Hodges was arrested and charged with aggravated murder; in June 2016 he was found guilty of aggravated homicide and was later sentenced. Fonseca’s mother publicly called for justice and spoke against gun violence, describing him as caring, fatherly toward his younger sister, and hardworking to support his family.

Does anyone have information about the events on Ayers Street that night or knew Jason and can help fill in what happened?
