YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio (WKBN) — It must’ve been a large crime scene the night in January 2001 Terril Mitchum was killed.

Mitchum, 18, was one of 34 homicide victims in Youngstown that year. His case is unsolved.

He was killed in a shooting in the 100 block of Kenmore Avenue that wounded two other people who were inside a house, playing cards.

The Vindicator at the time said witnesses told police that they were playing cards around 2:25 a.m. when someone heard a knock on the door.

When the knock was answered, someone forced their way inside and began firing. Two men who were playing, one 26 and the other 23, were wounded.

The 26-year-old told police he ran out of the house and down the street, but someone chased him down and shot him. He went to a nearby house for help, according to the newspaper.

Mitchum’s body was found in the snow in a nearby yard in the 100 block of Kenmore, the newspaper said.

Officers found casings from 9mm and .45-caliber handguns in the street. Accounts at the time described the incident as a “shootout.”

In 2001, Youngstown was still gripped in the throes of the violence that erupted in the 90s when almost 500 people were killed, an average of 49.2 homicide victims per year.

Homicide rates in the city, however, were beginning to level off, as Youngstown averaged 32 homicides per year from 199-2002, before falling under 20 in 2003 with 19 homicides.
