One-armed teen indicted in armed carjacking, shooting

A Cuyahoga CLEVELAND — County grand jury has indicted a one-armed teenager in the shooting of a Subway worker and the armed carjacking of a man at a Cleveland shopping plaza.

Krillian Howard, 17, is charged as an adult with attempted murder, felonious assault, kidnapping and aggravated robbery in the two separate incidents which came 10 days apart in neighborhoods on Cleveland’s West Side.

Daryl Avent, who was a 17-year-old at the time and has since turned 18, was also charged in the indictment in the carjacking, but not the Subway incident.

Cuyahoga County prosecutors still consider Howard a suspect in three more carjackings, a pair along Interstate 77 and one on Bunts Avenue in Lakewood, and said they expect additional charges in the future.

Both teenagers remain in juvenile detention and are set for a July 6 arraignment in Cuyahoga County Common Pleas Court.

Prosecutors say that on March 21, Howard and Avent robbed and pistol-whipped a 57-year-old man at an ATM at Warren Village Shopping Plaza.

The pair took the man’s keys and drove away in the truck, prosecutors say.

Howard is also charged with attempted murder after he stormed into a Subway Restaurant on Memphis Avenue near West 62nd Street March 31, along with other gunman, according to investigators.

Howard led a 17-year-old sandwich maker into the back of the store looking for cash, then shot her in the arm before making off with the money, prosecutors say.

Howard lost his arm in 2015 when he tried to crawl beneath a slow-moving train to escape Willoughby police chasing him and another teenager in a stolen van, according to police.
