Chelsey Jones, 26, was fatally shot on the night of July 4, 2022, while sitting on her couch at home in Akron, Ohio. A bullet came through the front window and struck her in the head; she was found by her boyfriend, Michael Hartney, and was taken to Cleveland Clinic Akron General, where she later died. Authorities have ruled the death a homicide and scheduled an autopsy to determine further details.

Investigators say the bullet most likely originated from across Summit Lake, more than 1,000 feet away. Two 9mm casings were recovered on a dock that is visible from Jones’s home. No arrests or suspects have been identified, and the investigation remains ongoing. Jones was a mother of two and worked as a phlebotomist; family and friends remember her for her laugh and smile.

Anyone who was near Summit Lake that evening or who has information about activity on the dock is asked to come forward.
