YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio – Jules Freeman, 23, was sentenced to serve 14 to 19½ years behind bars for his role in a shooting death on Youngstown’s South Side. Mahoning County Court Common Pleas Judge Maureen Sweeney sentenced Freeman.
Freeman pleaded as charged to Count Three of his original indictment, Involuntary Manslaughter, a felony of the first degree, and the accompanying three-year firearm specification. The plea was entered following a pre-trial hearing before Judge Maureen Sweeney.
Freeman’s guilty plea stems from his role in a fatal shooting that occurred on Youngstown’s south side in 2024. The victim was located at the intersection of Erie Street and East Evergreen Avenue. Freeman was later apprehended by the New Philadelphia Police Department following an investigation.
Mahoning County Prosecutor Lynn Maro would like to thank the Youngstown Police Department, the New Philadelphia Police Department, and Assistant Prosecutors Robert Andrews and Patrick Fening for their work and diligence throughout this case.
