An incident on the quiet streets of Akron has left the community shaken, as a 52-year-old man was tragically killed following a stabbing incident last night. Akron Police Department confirmed the fatality, reporting that the suspect, known to the victim, is currently at large. The grim discovery was made in the 1600 block of Cromwell Dr., where officers responded to a call at approximately 8:11 p.m., as detailed by a Fox8 news release.
Upon their arrival, police found the man with critical injuries. Efforts to save his life were quickly dispatched as he was rushed to an area hospital for treatment. However, despite the lifesaving attempts, he was pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. Lt. Michael Murphy, a member of the Akron Police Department, indicated in a statement obtained by Cleveland 19 that the victim had been found suffering from these injuries.
The victim's identity has not been disclosed, maintaining a measure of privacy for the family during these early stages of investigation and grief. The suspect, however, remains unidentified publicly and is presently being sought by authorities. They fled the scene subsequent to the crime, adding urgency to an investigation that Lt. Murphy describes as "in its preliminary stages."
