and they were inside the house arguing. there were like four or five shots. >> an argument that happened last night between a woman and a man who she had a restraining order against. the woman was shot multiple times in front of her children. >> the accused shooter, her boyfriend, now behind bars. we've learned that man, jamarian williams has a history of domestic violence. just last month a warrant was issued for his arrest. earlier he served time in jail order after a 2015 arrest. he was arrested and pleaded guilty to domestic violence in 2011. >> so with a past like that we wanted to know how could something like this happen. so we've been digging into how williams could be out of jail in the first place. we're going to start with megan hickey with brand-new information about the history of violence between the couple. >> reporter: according to records we just obtained the

document for months and police have made many trips to this house. police records obtained by newschannel5 show there were six calls for service at the scene since april. multiple domestic incidents and calls since a warrant was issued for. mar january williams two weeks ago. graphic police reports did detail the violce to one count but he received a sentence of three years of community control even though he had a history pleading guilty to domestic violence. >> this particular type of criminal says, i don't care about this piece of paper. that's the one we need to be the most worried about. >> reporter: in another incident the victim said williams again punched and slapped her. judge paul gallagher would not answer my questions about why

jail time. the summit county prosecutor's office said they could not answer my questions about this case but told me in that general -- >> we do everything we can to try to put a stop to that but unfortunately we can't always prevent what is going to happen particularly when you have victims who stay where they are. >> reporter: now, in those reports i also learned that the victim stated she did not want williams to go back to prison but that she was afraid of him and home. >> here's what makes the story even more tragic. there were signs that williams was dangerous and those signs were ignored. our exclusive year-long five on your side investigation found there are usually red flags before an abuser escalates the violence and tries to kill a victim. during the past year investigator sarah buduson has spoke to advocates who work

particular case, they should have known that the girlfriend was always in serious danger. >> that's right, danita. this is a danger assessment. it lists factors that make it more likely an abuser will more likely try to kill their vic at the same time judge sent jamarian williams to jail when he violated his parole. when he violated the orders again the judge again put him monica manages the probation department. she says when they refuse to lay by the rules they're more likely to kill. >> fur looking at somebody what is continuing to disregard a protection order, that is an

and that can be dangerous for the victim. >> just how dangerous? listen to this stunning statistic. 94% of women who are murdered are killed by someone they know. on your side, i'm investigator sarah buduson, newschannel5. in lorain now investigators say they're looking into three murders that happened in their city in less than 48 hours. that makes nine murders in the city already this year. the latest, a double shooting that left two men dead. paul kiska live outsid paul, police are still trying to piece together exactly what happened here. ferlts well, rob, lorain police are trying to figure out the motive behind two shootings that left two brothers dead. just after midnight in an apartment at west gate gardens here on leavitt road gunfire erupted. killed were 35-year-old jose morales and his brother, 38- year-old angel cruz. >> jose was dead when we got

actually died. >> reporter: a witness who lives in the apartment where the shootings took place was too distraught to go on camera but she told me the brothers were arguing when one brother shot the other. she said a neighbor then shot the other brother. i'm told it's not known if the neighbor acted in self-defense but he has not been charged with murder. >> we are not currently look for additional suspects. we feel like we have a pretty good handle on the investigation but we have to wait for some forensics to come back and some labs to come lorain's eighth and ninth murders this year compared with none last year. >> this makes lorain appear to be a very unsafe city. but in actuality, crime over the course of the year, violent crime in this city has dramatically decreased. >> now, watkins told me that aggravated assaults are way down in the city of lorain.

ashtabula along the eastern border, down along the ohio river to cincinnati. that is a traditionally democratic area. joe biden was campaigning in youngstown. he dismissed that in a sense because it was an anomaly of the republican primary. ebels come november the union workers that he is going to be talking to here will find their way home to the democratic party. reporting live at the uaw hall, john kosich, newschannel5. >> and donald trump ma days after he stopped in cleveland last week. he spoke at the american legion conference in cincinnati this morning a day after hillary clinton did. he was also in wilmington, which is halfway between cincinnati and columbus. while he was there, he held a rally for supporters. >> maybe everybody is coming for our wonderful weather. >> it is going to be absolutely phenomenal weather, all the way between now and monday, labor day. beautiful weather.

isolated sprinkles. light rain showers sliding on shore. this one near gee fee of on the lake this one trying to move in. a lot of ground clutter. there were some sprinkles or showers -- hard to call them showers. they weren't really heavy. but those have faded out. i can't remove the threat for a sprinkle this evening just about anywhere. primarily lakeshore communities. you have got the best shot but that shot is only consistent wooster. your browns game looks great. 70, breezy with a north wind. 75 for akron. there we are in the upper 60s at 8:00 p.m. middle and upper 60s at 10:00. >> i know it's preseason but i want to do it, rob. here we go brownies, here we

>> that was the cheer. we're cheering for them because the browns are getting set for their final pre san tune-up. >> they take on the bears, a game you can see right here. we've got the look ahead just before kickoff. >> reporter: i would like to be able to do that chant with you when i come back to the studio tonight. the starters don't usually play in the fourth preseason game because of the risk of injuries playing, for good reason. the offense and the defense have been putrid in terms of production. on the other side of the ball browns have given up nearly 24 points per game. you take the stats with a grain of salt but head coach hue jackson wants to see major improvement from his team tonight. >> we're going to play our guys. i feel comfortable that we need to play our starters on both

to be determined. but i think we're going to play them. i think we need to get better as a football team, as we continue to move forward. >> and it's not just the starters trying to improve tonight. it's the guys on the fringe. there's cut-down day on saturday. browns have to get their roster down to 53 so a lot of guys are going to make some sort of impact as they take on the bears. live at firstenergy stadium. back to you. >> an exclusive look from the sky as state highway pa troll starts to ramp up patrol. cincinnati may have a new drug problem on its hand. more on a major drug bust that officials are saying is the largest of its kind in the state. >> if you see news happening,

the heroin addiction runs

seized more than 16 pounds of crystal meth and arrested three people in possession of it. investigators say the drug was made in mexico and was shipped into the country. they say on the streets the drugs would cost almost a million dollars. with the heroin epidemic running high there are several state lawmakers calling on the governor to declare a public health emergency bimaking the declaration it would free upstate money and resources to try an for those traveling the turnpike this weekend because it is a holiday weekend beware. the state highway patrol tells us they will be out in full force both on the ground and also in the air. >> kristin volk spent this day with the patrol's aerial enforcement unit. troopers are seeing a disturbing trend right now. >> reporter: get this, there's been almost a 20% increase in the number of drivers stopped for going more than 100 miles per hour here on the ohio

so here's how troopers are catching them from thousands of feet above. >> watching a black suv, he's at 93 miles per hour right now. >> reporter: a black suv going well over the speed limit here on the ohio turnpike today. that's what this state highway patrol trooper is clocking on this stopwatch using markers on the ground. what's also on the ground are more troopers. aerial enforcement area, one of 36 on the ohio turnpike. troopers tell me they are looking closely for aggressive drivers and finding more and more. they are also looking closely at construction zones like this one in erie county where a 14- year-old girl died last month. troopers say they're watching for trucks in the left lane when they should be in the right, and they are monitoring speeds. statistics show that the patrol has upped the number of

at this time. >> we've gotten numerous ovi out of the stops. we've had numerous felony stops. >> reporter: in the last two- and-a-half years speed is to blame for 64% of fatal crashes here on the ohio turnpike. in elyria, kristin volk. let's talk weather. what's going on in florida? >> it's bad news flooding rains in florida, and that's just the beginning. we are analyzing some new data coming in, and this storm system is likely going to travel up the east coast and then stall. let me explain. let's go over here and talk about it. this is breaking weather news. there's the eye of her min. a category 1 storm, a minimal her cain, 75-mile-per-hour winds. but look at these outer bands with monster rainfall.

hill, in these little bands that come in. they're all spinning like a top so these bands produce tornadoes all over the place. we've got a tornado watch in effect for most of the northern half of florida. cat 1 when it makes landfall overnight tonight, moves over tallahassee. here is the breaking news part. it travels up through as a tropical storm all the way up through charleston, the outer banks, and then look what happens. sunday afternoon, monday it does not move. 60-mile-per-hour winds. battering the coast from let's say near been all the way back through long island, all the way down the jersey shore. this could be devastating for beach erosion. really bad news for the entire east coast, folks. even all the way up to maine with high surf. right now locally we're watching a shower coming into

lake. we've had a few sprinkles west side, over towards the islands and norwalk earlier today. there's not a lot of activity as for as rainfall goes but we can't rule it out. an isolated sprinkle especially if you live along the lakeshore. 74 at cleveland to akron, 72 norwalk, 70 in ashtabula. live video, 74 degree 77 our official high. 79 is where we should be on this date in 1953, 101 degrees. i don't remember that. anyone in the room? the good news for ohio the front that came through is holding this hurricane south and steering it up the east coast. then we get a couple of areas of high pressure all the way through your weekend.

we're going to enjoy some of the best weather of the summer for this holiday weekend. 57 overnight, mainly cloudy. we'll mention a sprinkle or two off the lake. tomorrow, 75, a cloud/sun mix. isolated shower chances mainly lake geauga and ashtabula. still some instability showers off the lake. but how about this. mid-70s friday, 82 on sunday, and monday 86 ?? degrees. look at that. wall-to-wall sunshine. the airshow, the tribe, geauga county fair, incredible things to do outside, and that is a terrific forecast. >> can't wait. we look forward to the weekend but we continue the countdown to the dog pound, browns and bears. >> it is the last preseason game for our brownies. sports director andy baskin is

after this one. it's the browns and the bears. we will see a familiar face on the other side in brian hoyer playing quarterback. when we come back, matt will help us break down the roster. we're going to figure out who is playing for a job when we

browns and bears tonight here at firstenergy stadium.

that has a super bowl ring, a national championship ring, the pride of northern ohio. rgiii, he will play. a lot of teams won't play their starters tonight but tonight rgiii needs to get a little work in. >> i think a lot of that has to do with the lackluster performance last week in tampa bay. it wasn't quite what hue jackson expected. i think he wants to see these guys play football. i don't know how much it is going to be and i think it probably is -- if i had to give a guess, i would say somewhere between seven and twelve plays. if they move the ball down the field, maybe get a touchdown, that might be enough for jackson. >> let's talk about the defense. they've been scrutinized. a new-look offensive line with paul kruger now going to new orleans. can they stop the run?

of them? >> even more than we see out of the starting offense. the reason why, i think ray horton last week kind of went to a four-man front. i think that's something they're kind of tinkering with. they know that stopping the run is unprecedented, especially in the afc north. the man with the hand on his ground, i think it's going to be a big part of tonight as well as seeing more. >> matt, what's it like to be a player on the bubble in a fight like this? >> it's tough. you have to have open communication with your coach. a full slate of things tonight including the game at 8:00. don't forget at 7:00 we start off with "building the browns," then after the game our post- game show. watch the browns and the bears on newschannel5. thank you matt. back to you guys.

>> browns to have score. no sprained ankles. >> don't scare them, mark. your face is going to be this big? >> real big.
