Today police are investigating a suspicious death on East Avondale on the city's south side.
UPDATE
Youngstown Police have one man behind bars after the second murder in just two days on Sunday.
22-year-old Marco Cardenas was arrested shortly after the shooting death of Jack Manigaul and assault of Tamika Riley.
According to police, just before 2 o'clock Sunday morning, Cardenas entered the home on Avondale, shot Manigaul in the head, and hit Riley with the gun.

Second slaying in 2 days probed

Some things just do not add up:
1. The Jail refused to take in the shooter.
2. The Police had to take him to St. Eves to incarcerate him. Since when was St, Eves a County Jail Annex?
He had an injury that could not be treated at the jail. So they took him to the Hospital for treatment/evaluation. I'm certain that he was returned to the jail after a Doctor released him....
Oh!
By the way, the suspect sounds like he's a psycho:
"In the meantime, while police were responding to the suspect's residence on Plymouth, they were notified he had been seen near the Pyatt Street Market. When officers got out of their cruisers, Cardenas, armed with a handgun, came toward them and said: "You'd better shoot me. You're going to have to kill me," reports said."
This is the sixteenth homicide of the year according to the homicide map.Youngstown Homicide Map 2011
