Pair indicted for Jan. 9 Madison Street shootout
Feb 09
2012
While two suspects in a Madison Street shooting have been formally charged, Sandusky police say at least two more arrests could follow.
Justin Stowers, 22, and Ashlei Kimble Palmer, 22, face charges of complicity to commit felonious assault and complicity to commit aggravated robbery. Police suspect the two lured a Cleveland man to Madison Street on Jan. 9, with plans to rob him.
The robbery attempt ultimately triggered a shootout between Stowers and the alleged victim, 41-year-old Derek Jackson. Anywhere from 10 to 15 shots were fired that night, one of which struck Palmer in the foot.
Police suspect at least two other people were involved. Said Sandusky police Lt. John Orzech: “We’re attempting to gain some cooperation from somebody who has the names. Right now, it’s just circumstantial and it’s not enough.”

I read the police blotter daily. It amazes me how ignorant some people are complaining about harrasment on Facebook, cannot get their child to school or bed, report vandalism when someone drew a heart on their driveway in chalk, etc. I would like to see the city pass a law stating if someone calls the police for help getting their two year old to bed and other such stupid reasons for calling the police, they should be required to pay $200 to the police department for wasting their resources. Sorry I have got to go, have to call the fire department...my wife just lit a cigarette....LOL

I wonder why the Prosecutor isn't investigating this shooting >>> Ummmm back when the prosecutor would be all over the scene framing a person. Perhaps this one isn't a set-up....

geeze, those guys who showed us the fight at the ok corral were right.....they said guns were hard to shoot and aim and really hit someone with unless you were good.
These people must be pathetic.......
Obviously, they can't hit each other or they ducked their heads. Is a foot shot hard?

Yea and the sad part about it is that we have only taken two off the streets , what about the other thugs that are just waiting for the chance ?
We can put them in Jail but the only thing that they are going to learn is how to get away with it when they get back out , and in the mean time they have Sandusky as well as other towns on the edge due to a few that think they are above the law and have no regard for humon life
That is why we need the death penalty , and need to expand the use of it to cover drug offenders and sex offenders as well as anyone that uses a gun to comment a crime .
We need to send a messege that we as law bidding people will no longer allow these thugs to take over and keep our city hostage . Plan and simple

@bigdad
Rifles at 2 paces might work.

Kimo a duel wouldnt work 10-15 shots fired and only one person got hit and thats was in the foot. From the intial reports that was friendly fire. It would cost you more in ammo before they actualy hit one another than it would just to jail them.

REMEMBER Judge's OHIO LAW is ,if convicted [ 3 ] THREE YEARS MAN. jail for using a GUN.Now that is before any other sentance USE IT , then we dont need other laws and maybe if the fools understand that 3 years on top of any thing else maybe they will think twice . If not then they are gone for 3 years period .USE THE LAW ! These two look like a couple of dips that need time in the slammer, Also bring back the chain gang and get rid of TV, gym time ,work / sleep/ that is all !

Sentence them to a duel.
That would cut losses by about 45%.
