Howard's Jewelry Robbery Suspects are Indicted

Four suspects were indicted by a Cuyahoga County grand jury Monday on charges relating to a Nov. 10 armed robbery at Howard's Jewelry Center, 5889 Mayfield Rd., .

Janelle Dowdy, 20, of Painesville, Shon Sheffey, 19, of Concord, Andre McMorris, 19, of Euclid, and Vincent Murphy, 21, of Chardon were each indicted on seven counts of kidnapping and two counts of aggravated robbery, said Maria Russo, public information officer with the Cuyahoga County Prosecutor's Office.

Mayfield Heights Police Department Detective Joe Leskovec said the robbery, which occurred at 11:02 a.m. Nov. 10, was reported as being committed by three persons with two guns and a stun gun. The two guns turned out to be BB guns and the stun gun did not work.

Leskovec said the suspects stole $20,000 cash and some jewelry. The jewelry was in a "fake" bag to be given to robbers, he said. The suspects were described as four white males in a silver sedan with a spoiler.
