Aaron Lucas, 29, of Canton, Ohio, was shot to death on the evening of August 8, 2021. He was found in the driveway of a home in the 1000 block of 13th Street NW with multiple gunshot wounds to the face, neck and torso, and was pronounced dead after being taken to a nearby hospital.

Lucas was the father of Ace Lucas, a 1-year-old boy who had been fatally shot in the family home on July 22, 2020. At the time of Aaron’s death he was expected to testify in the criminal case against Trejuan Johnson, who was accused in Ace’s killing and in wounding his twin brother, ArCel. Authorities say an argument between Lucas and 37-year-old Nichalous Dimitri Harvey escalated that evening and Harvey allegedly shot Lucas several times before fleeing. A warrant was issued, and Harvey turned himself in to the Stark County Sheriff’s Office on August 10, 2021; he was arrested without incident and charged with murder, a first-degree felony.

The investigation into Aaron Lucas’ homicide is ongoing and his death delayed the trial where he was to be a key witness. If anyone knew Aaron, Ace or has information about the events of August 8, 2021, please come forward to investigators.
