FARRELL —
Southwest Mercer County Regional police are asking for help from anyone who might have witnessed a shooting Monday morning in Farrell.
Tyree Sanders of Sharon was shot on the lower left leg and right forearm, police said.
Police said they were called with a report of shots fired at 2:40 a.m. in the 900 block of Hamilton Avenue, and Sanders was found on Ravine Place in Sharon.
Police said they found 14 shell casings from two different caliber guns at the scene.
Investigators can be reached at 724-983-2720.
Sanders is one of the witnesses for the prosecution in the case against the teens accused of the Dec. 30 killing of Farrell bar owner William Basilone Jr.
In that case, Sanders told police he saw Joshua Stewart and Devine Campbell near Basilone’s bar prior to the shooting.
“We don’t believe it to be related,” Southwest detective Capt. Doug Long said. “We really don’t have a motive yet.”
Sanders was in stable condition at St. Elizabeth Health Center, Youngstown, Long said.
