A Youngstown man will face sentencing after pleading guilty Monday in Mahoning County Common Pleas Court.

Jonthony Altreche was facing trial this July in the shooting death of Ty’Rice Logan outside a liquor establishment on Youngstown’s Southside in December 2023.

However, on Monday, Altreche admitted to killing the victim, pleading guilty to one count of Involuntary Manslaughter with an attached firearm specification, one count of Felonious Assault with an attached firearm specification, one count of Illegal Possession of a Firearm in Liquor Permit Premises, one count of Possession of Cocaine and one count of Failure to Comply with an Order or Signal of a Police Officer.

The defendant also forfeited $625 as part of the plea. As part of the agreement, attorneys for both sides will be recommending a term of 30 to 35 1/2 years behind bars when Altreche returns to court at a later date.

Mahoning County Prosecutor Lynn Maro credited the diligent work of Assistants Robert Andrews and Kyle Hilles in securing the pleas in the case.
