Devon Meredith, 27, of Canton, Ohio, was found shot to death inside a home in the 1400 block of Sixth Street SW in Canton on June 21, 2021. Meredith, who lived in Massillon, was described as well-loved by family and friends and left behind a young son; his death was unexpected and devastating to those who knew him.

Investigators identified two men in connection with the shooting: Robert L. Torrence, 29, and Thomas R. Humphrey, 48. Felony arrest warrants were issued; Torrence eventually surrendered. Torrence pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter, a first-degree felony, and received a prison term of 14 to 16 1/2 years. Humphrey pleaded guilty to tampering with evidence and was given three years of probation with intensive supervision and ordered to complete treatment at the Stark Regional Community Correction Center.

Detectives from the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation and the Stark County Coroner’s Office were involved in the inquiry. Did anyone in Canton or Massillon have information about Devon’s last known activities or contacts leading up to June 21, 2021?
