A reward of up to $250,000 is being offered for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the person or persons responsible for the murder of a Letter Carrier in Warren. 
 
Jonte Davis who worked for the US Post Office in Warren was shot in his mail truck while working his route on the city's northeast side. 
 
The councilman for the fourth ward says the city grieves for the loss of the 33-year-old father.
 
"It just absolutely broke my heart. We have people running around doing this stuff right near downtown Warren. It's heartbreaking," Councilman James Shaffer said. 
 
Although Warren detectives believe the shooter or shooters and the mailman knew each other, and the victim was targeted, folks who live near the area where the murder took place say they are tired of living in what they describe as a war zone. 
 
Kristin Riley says people who live on that side of the city often hear the sound of gunfire at random times of the day or night. 
 
"We've had four shootings next door... There was another driveby I witnessed around the corner near the same location where this one started. I was at another drive-by visiting with some friends on the next block over in the summer of 22," Kristin Riley added.
 
Councilman Andrew Herman who represents residents in the second ward says drive-bys are more common than drive-thrus in the city.
 
Herman tells 21 News he is committed to crime prevention.
 
"We have a city of 39,000 people. We have three McDonalds, no Burger Kinds, and two Taco Bells, but there are estimated to be over 100 drug houses in the city. We need a citywide system of flock cameras, or cyclops cameras to be able to track all of this activity," Councilman Andrew Herman said.
 
"If you do the math, I think for every 300 residents there is a drug house, but for every 14,000 residents a McDonalds. And that just shouldn't be. We need to get these cameras and join the 21st methods of fighting crime. I think that's what we need to do more than anything," Herman added.
 
Residents are invited to a Thursday meeting at 5:30 at the Warren Public Library to discuss ways to help stop crime and violence. 
 
The cameras would make it easier to track vehicle license plates from a half-mile grid. 
 
This is something where everyone can come to the table, the administration, police chief, and city council to make this happen, Herman tells 21 News.
 
"Let's make it unconformable and risky for people coming into the city to do these activities," Herman emphasized.
