AKRON, Ohio (NEWSnet/AP) — Police continue to investigate a shooting at a street party in Akron that left one dead and 27 people injured.
Two remained in critical condition, Akron’s police chief said Wednesday. A 27-year-old was killed in the shooting
No arrests have been made in the shooting last weekend, said the police chief, who added that it was too early to talk about what led to the shooting.
Investigators have recovered shell casings from five different guns although it remains unclear whether more than one person fired from a vehicle into the crowd of more than 100 people, the police chief said. At least one person at the party fired back, police said.
Officers tried to break up the party after getting noise complaints Saturday night, about two hours before the shooting, officials said. More than 200 people were at the party at that point.
