YPD cites juvenile for running, finds gun, after investigation into large crowd and gunfire
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — City police late Wednesday cited a juvenile who ran from officers who were called to a South Side street for a large crowd and gunfire, and they also found a handgun. Police were called at about 11:10 p.m. to the 3000 block of Idlewood Avenue for a report of a large fight and gunfire, and when officers showed up, several cars began leaving the area, and people were running. Police went to check behind a nearby home for someone who was seen running away and in a wooded area found a loaded 9mm handgun in a Sponge Bob backpack, reports said. The gun had a laser light attached, and the serial number was scratched off, reports said. One of the people who ran away was found by police in the 400 block of West Boston Avenue. Reports said he told officers he ran because he was scared. Because the Mahoning County Juvenile Justice Center refused to take him, the boy was cited for obstructing official business and released to a relative. No one was injured by the gunfire.

Pulaski County man arrested in 2008 child sexual abuse case
PULASKI COUNTY, Mo. — A man from Crocker, Missouri, was arrested after being accused of sexually abusing a child sometime between 2008 and 2009 when he was in kindergarten. The suspect, Daniel Gaines, was charged with first-degree statutory sodomy with a child who was less than 14 years old. His bond is set at $250,000, cash or surety only. According to online court documents, in April 2013, charges were initially filed against Gaines in an investigation into the alleged child abuse, but the prosecutor dismissed the case around January 2015 after the venue was changed to Phelps County. In November 2024, Gaines was being investigated for allegedly uploading and distributing child pornography on the messaging app KIK in June. This investigation revealed conversations Gaines had with another user where he discussed sexually assaulting a child. One message read, 'At 18, I was babysitting for some people who had two 2 yo sons from prior relationships…they decided they weren't going to pay me the way they promised…so I took my payment out on the 2 yo boys.' Camden County area damage left behind after Tuesday night storms The detective contacted Gaines at his residence on June 2, 2025. Gaines told the detective that the content in his KIK conversations was all fantasy and not based on truth. He claimed he only collected child pornography and took part in perverse conversations to report users on Telegram and KIK. However, court documents state that Gaines did not provide an example of him reporting said content. The detective then contacted the victim, who detailed the sexual abuse. The victim said that sometime in 2008 or 2009, when he was five years old, Gaines sexually assaulted him on two separate occasions at a mobile home in Crocker. The victim claimed he felt the system failed him since the initial case was dropped by the prosecuting attorney without just cause, court records state, and he wants Gaines to be held accountable. The probable cause statement notes that Gaines is currently homeless and has been accused of sexually assaulting family members. Gaines' next court appearance is a counsel status hearing scheduled for June 11. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
