Akron Police Lt. Michael Miller said an unknown shooter approached the victim while he was sitting in a car and fired multiple rounds, "striking and ultimately killing him."

The victim’s car was discovered parked on the street with shattered glass and riddled with bullet holes. A relative of the victim responded to the scene and later called the police.

The victim ran and police found him dead in a driveway, Miller said, adding police believe the shooting took place about 1½ hours before officers were called to the scene around 1:20 p.m.
