Kenny Stanton, a 40-year-old man from Youngstown, Ohio, was shot during a late-night visit to Sami Quick Stop at Market Street and Midlothian Boulevard on Sunday, November 9, 2025. Police were called just before 11 p.m.; officers arriving at about 10:46 p.m. found two men with gunshot wounds, one lying on the sidewalk outside the store and another inside. Stanton was taken by ambulance to St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital and later died of his injuries, while the other victim survived with multiple wounds.

Investigators processed the scene after nightfall, documenting shell casings and mapping positions as detectives and crime-lab personnel searched for clues. Police confirmed detectives were actively investigating but did not release a motive, say whether the shooting was targeted or random, name the wounded man, or identify any suspect. Stanton’s death was recorded as Youngstown’s tenth homicide of the year.

Did anyone who was in the South Side area that night see anything that could help investigators identify the shooter?
