What we know: Norton police found 8 bullets after road rage death on I-76

Eight days after an apparent fatal road rage incident on Interstate 76, Norton police say detectives are "still in the process of following up on numerous leads."

In a short update Thursday, Norton police said the Ohio State Highway Patrol and Ohio Department of Transportation have released videos related to the incident.

"We are still in the process of redacting our videos and will release them as soon as possible," the release said. "We will send out an update as soon as we have one. We appreciate your patience."

Police have not said much since George Jensen, 40, of Akron, died after being shot and crashing into the freeway's concrete median during the evening rush hour May 17.

But the videos and Norton's police report do include new details.

Police report details 8 bullets

An initial incident report obtained by the Beacon Journal Wednesday said police spoke to five witnesses and recovered eight .40 caliber shell casings and eight bullet slugs at the scene: two from outside the vehicle, four from Jensen's car and two from his body's shoulder and knee.

A May 18 police news release said there appeared to be a road rage incident between Jensen and another driver in a black 2018 or newer Chevy Camaro as the two traveled on I-76, and the driver of the Camaro fired multiple gunshots toward Jensen's car as it drove past.

Eyewitness 911 calls to Norton police also reported "two cars going back and forth with each other, and I think the guy got shot."

A 12-minute body-worn camera video released Thursday by the Ohio State Highway Patrol shows drivers at the scene of the crash as officers arrive. The video is blurred where troopers provide first aid, including several minutes of CPR.

A woman at the scene can be heard telling officers that the incident started around Exit 11 at Route 261 in Wadsworth.

"This car and a black sports car, they were egging each other (on), cut each other off, brake check and do all that," the woman said. "After they came over (state Route) 21, I didn't hear or see any gunshots, but all of the sudden he hit the guardrail by the bridge and he came all the way back over and hit there."

The driver of the Camaro was last seen leaving the area on I-76 East. Anyone with information or who witnessed the incident should call the Norton Police Department Detective Bureau at 330-706-0084.

A traffic camera video released by the Ohio Department of Transportation also shows a black car speeding eastbound past the Cleveland-Massilion Road overpass just before all traffic stops further west down the highway at the crash site.

Who was George Jensen?

George Jensen was on his way home from work in Wadsworth.

His wife, Allison, said she suspected something was wrong when her husband didn't return to their Akron home at the usual time, saying he always came straight home after work.

Scott Keenan, a co-worker of George Jensen's at ECS Tuning, was also worried and made calls to area law enforcement agencies and hospitals.

Keenan, who had been best friends with George since they were 9, said Jensen was dedicated to his work and was a gifted systems engineer.

"He was staunchly opposed to gun violence," Keenan said. "He was alarmed at the mass shooting incidents all around the country."

Allison Jensen said her husband was the oldest of three children. They celebrated their 13th anniversary in October and met 18 years ago at a concert.

She said the person who shot her husband should be held accountable.

"I am not here for (any) revenge fantasies — I just want justice," Allison Jensen said. "I want him to be tried like anyone else."

What happened during the road rage shooting in Norton?

A caller who reported the incident to 911 operators last week said he witnessed some of what happened.

"I think he's been shot," the caller can be heard saying to others on the scene as the dispatcher answered the phone. The caller then described what he saw.

"I believe there were two cars going back and forth with each other, and I think the guy got shot ... he hit the wall. He swerved right, he swerved left," the caller said. "There were two cars going back and forth, and this guy was trying to pass and I don't know ... This guy, he's not going to make it."

The 911 recording was provided by Southwest Summit Communications, which serves Barberton, Norton, Copley and Springfield Township.
