The Akron Police Department is actively seeking assistance from the public to identify suspects involved in a last Monday shooting at the Field House Lounge. In a social media post, the Akron Police Department shared images of three individuals who entered the lounge on 370 Paul Williams St. and subsequently engaged in a violent altercation that escalated to gunfire, injuring three people, some of whom are now facing long-term hospitalization.
To track down the suspects, Akron Police are appealing to anyone who might have witnessed or captured the event on their cell phone to come forward. The suspect who fired the shots has been specifically described as having braided hair and wearing a gray hoodie. The department has encouraged those with information to reach out and provide their account of the events swiftly. Detective E. Hornacek can be contacted directly at 330-375-2490, and anonymous tips can be submitted to the Summit County Crimestoppers, Inc. at 330-434-COPS (2677).
APD has emphasized that tips can be sent via text to 274637 (CRIMES) with the keyword TIPSCO. Furthermore, the Akron PD app allows convenient tip submission and can be downloaded through its website. To underscore the severity of the situation, authorities have strongly advised the public not to approach the suspects if spotted but to call 911 immediately.
The incident has left two victims with serious injuries that will require an extended period of recovery in the hospital. APD's plea highlights the urgency of apprehending the perpetrators and preventing further harm quickly. Additional methods to relay information include the APD Tip Line at 330-375-2TIP, and the department has stressed the importance of not posting personal information on social media comments but instead sending it via inbox.
