Saturday shooting in Lorain kills one man, injures another

Police are investigating after a shooting in Lorain over Labor Day weekend left one man dead and another injured, but no arrests have been made as of Monday. Lorain police Capt. Jacob Morris said in a news release sent Monday that police were dispatched to a reported shooting at 4:10 a.m. on Saturday in the area of the intersection of West 15th Street and Reid Avenue. Officers arrived to find Marsilles Mastin, 20, lying in the road suffering from multiple gunshot wounds. First responders rendered first aid and Mastin was transported to Mercy Health Lorain Hospital, but he died of his injuries. Morris said a 34-year-old man was believed to have been injured in the same shooting, and he was transported to Mercy Health by a private vehicle. He was in stable condition as of Monday. Lorain police immediately began investigating the shooting and collected multiple shell casings in the roadway, which Morris said suggested that the shooting took place entirely outside. "At this time, investigators believe there was a gathering in the street prior to the shooting and that this was an isolated incident," Morris said in the release. No suspects have been arrested as of Monday afternoon, but the investigation is ongoing and anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact the Lorain Police Department Detective Bureau at 440-204-2105. Lorain County Coroner Dr. Frank Miller told The Chronicle that he planned to perform an autopsy on Mastin today. Contact Owen MacMillan at 440-329-7123 or omacmillan@chroniclet.com.
