On the evening of Tuesday, March 31, 2026, 25-year-old Damien Michael Williams was found inside a residence on the northwest side of Warren, Ohio, with a gunshot wound to the head. Warren police were dispatched to the 400 block of School Street NW at 7:56 p.m. after reports of gunshots; officers entered the home and found Williams deceased.

Also at the scene was 19-year-old Serroyan Jubar Couto, who was taken into custody and transported to the Trumbull County jail. Couto was arraigned in Warren Municipal Court on a homicide charge and held without bond; a Trumbull County grand jury later indicted him on aggravated murder with a three-year gun specification, and at arraignment in Trumbull County Common Pleas Court his bond was set at $5 million.

Williams, born in Warren on October 26, 2000, worked as a caregiver at Moonlight Home Healthcare for four years and was remembered by family for enjoying travel and cooking. Funeral services were scheduled for April 13, 2026, with burial at Oakwood Cemetery.
