They have yet to be taken into custody.Members of the U.S. Marshals Northern Ohio Fugitive Task Force Thursday took Bailey into custody at an Olive Avenue home in Craig Beach.Lightner was taken into custody Thursday at a home on South Main Street in Austintown. Ramsey was taken into custody at a Mill Way home in New Castle, and Jones was taken into custody at the municipal court where he was at for an unrelated case.Lt. Mohammad Awad said the case is very complicated, and it started Oct. 17, when police were called to Bott Street for a report of a shooting.There was a lot of evidence to track down, so much that an extra set of detectives and extra Crime Lab personnel were called out to help examine the scene.The only thing that was missing was a victim.There was no victim at the scene but because of the evidence there Awad said investigators knew someone was either seriously wounded or dead.It wasn’t until 6:45 a.m. the next morning that patrol officer Gregory Tackett found Hernandez at the cemetery. Awad said Tackett decided to check the cemetery when he started his patrol shift that morning because several bodies have been dumped in that area over the years.When Hernandez was found, other detectives were called out to process that scene while Detective Sgt. Ron Barber, the lead investigator on the case, was interviewing witnesses that were found when police responded to Bott Street the night before.“It was all hands on deck with the Detective Bureau,” Awad said. “It was a team effort.”Bott Street is very close to the cemetery where Hernandez was found.Awad also said the city’s new Flock camera system also came into play and helped investigators find witnesses, suspects and evidence before it could be destroyed. Investigators found out what car the suspects were using and found that car on the cameras and tracked it to a home on the West Side, Awad said.There was evidence in the car that police were able to seize before it could be destroyed, Awad said. Awad said police might not have been able to find the car so quickly if it wasn’t for the new camera system.Copyright 2024 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
