Antonyo Travon Powell, 29, of Mansfield, Ohio, was shot the evening of Saturday, October 22, 2022, just after 8:30 p.m. Gunshot detectors and a citizen’s call brought Mansfield police to the Florence Avenue area, where officers found Powell with multiple gunshot wounds. He was taken to OhioHealth Mansfield Hospital and pronounced dead the next morning, October 23, 2022. Known to family as Wonnie or Wonnie James, he was a father of three and remembered for his love of family, playing cards, and making others laugh.

Mansfield police opened a homicide investigation that led to the arrest of 40-year-old Nathan J. Olsen of Mansfield on January 10, 2023, after he was taken into custody in South Carolina with assistance from the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force. Olsen was charged with aggravated murder and related offenses. At trial, a cousin testified that Olsen had expressed a desire to kill Powell, saying Olsen believed Powell had burglarized his home about a week before the shooting and had made threats in Facebook Messenger exchanges and phone calls; the cousin also turned over ammunition to police that contributed to the arrest.

Does anyone who knew Antonyo Powell or who was in the Florence Avenue area that night have information to share?
