Raymond R. Queener Jr., 33, was found with multiple gunshot wounds in a vehicle near Connecticut Avenue and North Dunlap Avenue on Youngstown’s West Side and was pronounced dead at St. Elizabeth Youngstown Hospital on Wednesday, May 29, 2024. Police were first alerted to a possible gunshot victim at 4:44 a.m. that morning. An autopsy was conducted by the Mahoning County Coroner’s Office at the Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office to determine the exact cause and manner of death.

Initial reports placed the incident in the 700 block of East Lucius Avenue on the city’s South Side, and officers were dispatched to multiple locations before locating Queener in the Connecticut–North Dunlap area, suggesting the events may have unfolded across different parts of Youngstown. His death was recorded as the city’s seventh homicide for 2024. The Youngstown Police detective division and crime scene unit opened an investigation; as of the latest update, no arrests had been announced and no suspects identified. Queener was born August 6, 1990, to Sharon and Raymond Queener Sr., and his obituary was handled by FD Mason Memorial Funeral Home in Youngstown.

If anyone has information about Queener’s movements that morning or about the locations where police were initially dispatched, the investigation could benefit from those details.
