Jolene Decker-Keres, 38, of Broadview Heights, Ohio, was found dead in her home on June 21, 2021 after a friend who had not heard from her for weeks requested a welfare check. Officers entered the residence through an open window and located her body in a bedroom. The Cuyahoga County Medical Examiner’s Office determined she had been fatally shot in the head.

The investigation led to the arrest of 19-year-old Bryant Hargrove Jr. of Akron; he was charged with murder and arraigned in Parma Municipal Court on July 6, 2021. Multiple agencies took part in the response and investigation, including the Broadview Heights Police Department, the Northern Ohio Violent Fugitive Task Force, the Akron Police Department, and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation. Neighbors remembered Jolene as kind and caring, and noted she loved her cats.

Does anyone have information about Jolene or her routines in Broadview Heights that might help explain what happened?
