Two people have been arrested after a deadly shooting in Sharon took the life of a father of two.
According to U.S. Marshals, Alexis Holmes of New Castle and Eddie Robinson of Youngstown were arrested Wednesday after the homicide of 24-year-old Khalil Hopson.
Hopson was shot inside of his Cedar Avenue home on May 23 and later died at the hospital.
The two were picked up at a hotel on North Canfield Avenue in Youngstown after officials heard they may have fled from Pennsylvania to Youngstown.
Holmes is facing charges including criminal homicide, robbery and burglary. Robinson faces a charge of possession of a firearm.
According to an affidavit from Holmes, she says that on May 23, she was at Hopson's home, and they later went onto the porch.
Holmes said that while outside, three males rushed the porch holding guns.
One man allegedly held her at gunpoint on the porch, and the other followed Hopson into the house, the affidavit stated.
According to Holmes, she later heard a gunshot.
She said the man holding her at gunpoint ran and she did as well.
Officials continued investigating, and during a search warrant, police say they found a phone with text messages between Holmes and Robinson that showed them allegedly discussing a robbery of Hopson for several thousands of dollars.
