Choice D. Washington, 34, of Warren, Ohio, was shot just before dawn on Sunday, August 3, 2025, on the 300 block of Scott Street. A police report recorded a gunshot wound to the forehead; he was taken to the hospital and died there on Wednesday, August 6, 2025, at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital.

Local accounts placed his death within a violent weekend in Warren; Washington was the second fatality tied to those incidents. Investigators identified a suspect and on August 14, 2025, a Trumbull County grand jury returned an indictment charging 46-year-old David Hollie of Warren with murder with a firearm specification and repeat violent-offender specifications, along with counts including having weapons under disability, tampering with evidence, failure to comply with an officer, and receiving stolen property. At the time of the indictment, jail records did not show Hollie as booked and no arraignment date was listed.

Washington, born November 6, 1990, was remembered in community remembrances and obituaries that recounted his life and confirmed the timeline from the predawn shooting to his death.
