The search is on for 23-year-old Deovion Harris, as federal marshals and Canton police ask the public to help track down the fugitive wanted in connection with a Canton shooting. The Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force said on March 2 that it is offering a reward for information that leads to Harris’ arrest. He is wanted on counts of felonious assault (discharging a firearm), having weapons under disability and carrying a concealed weapon.
How Authorities Describe Harris
The task force describes Harris as a Black man about 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing roughly 180 pounds, and says he is known to frequent the Cleveland and Akron areas, according to Cleveland 19. The outlet reports that he is currently wanted by the Canton Police Department and the U.S. Marshals on the listed offenses.
