Shaw given life sentence for slaying

http://www.vindy.com/news/2012/may/21/shaw-given-life-sentence-slaying/?nw

"YOUNGSTOWN ? More than two years ago Melvin Shaw shot into a West Side home killing his 17-year-old girlfriend and wounding her 18-year-old friend ? now he is headed to prison with a life sentence.

Shaw was found guilty last week of aggravated murder, attempted murder, felonious assault and improperly discharging a firearm after a week-long trial before Judge James C. Evans of Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

The Charges stem from the murder of 17-year-old Tracee Banks and the attempted murder of her 18-year-old friend Jamel Turner on June 19, 2010.

In total, Shaw was sentenced to 62 years to life by Evans."

Former Buckeye Recruit Headed to Akron

Former four-star Ohio State recruit Jamel Turner will apparently be suiting up as a Zip this fall. According to his facebook, the former Youngstown-Ursuline defensive end will attempt to resurrect what was once a promising football career.

Turner made headlines a few years ago when he was shot in two unrelated incidents in a span of two months, the second of which left him in critical condition. Amazingly, in both incidents he was shot multiple times but somehow escaped with his life. However, the second shooting rerouted Turner from his original plan to attend OSU and things have been quiet for him since.

Prior to the shootings, Turner had been declared academically ineligible to finish at Ursuline, and enrolled at Fork Union Military Academy. In his one season there he recorded 66 tackles and two interceptions, finishing his prep career still high on OSU coach Jim Tressel’s radar. Still, the shooting left him weak from his time spent in the hospital and in an attempt to get back into top shape, he enrolled at Butler Community College in Kansas. He didn’t appear to see the playing field for the Grizzlies however, and not much else is known of how and where he spent his time prior to the recent commitment to Akron.

Newcomers Jamel Turner and Hakeem Lawrence took to the field in full pads for the first time since joining the team.
With their five day acclimation period done, it?s not difficult to see why they appealed to coach Terry Bowden and his coaching staff.
Turner, though evidence of significant rust remains, breaks on the ball quickly from his linebacking position and got in on a couple of tackles in full squad drills. Not bad for someone who hadn?t played football in several years.

Landing at Akron, best of luck Jamel!

If he is able to play football, like he used to, he's going to be a very good player. Of course i'll be rooting for my Knights when we play Akron, but I hope he does well in the game. I just read his story and will be rooting for him to be successful and hopefully he will be one of these stories that goes from the bleakest of times to being outstanding and maybe making the nfl.
