Thomas Owens, 33, of Youngstown, Ohio, was killed in a drive-by shooting on November 14, 2015. He was shot in the head while inside a car on West Myrtle Avenue and was the only person in the vehicle who died; four other occupants were wounded but survived.

The investigation resulted in arrests of three men: Jason Heard, Leonard Savage, and Jawonn Hymes. Heard and Savage were later found guilty; Heard received 28 years to life for aggravated murder and related charges, and Savage was sentenced to 25 years to life for complicity to commit aggravated murder and other charges. Hymes was awaiting trial for his alleged role in the shooting. Authorities believed the attack was retaliation linked to Owens’ earlier guilty plea to negligent homicide in the 2004 death of Savage’s uncle.

Anyone who knew Owens, was in that part of Youngstown on November 14, 2015, or has information about the shooting is asked to come forward.
