Diontrae Fitzhugh, 22, of Akron, Ohio, was shot and killed on June 18, 2021 during a memorial gathering at Mount Peace Cemetery. Several shots were fired at the scene; Diontrae suffered a gunshot wound to the head and was found by Akron police during an area canvass. He was taken to Cleveland Clinic Akron General, where he was pronounced dead.

The scene was chaotic, with multiple vehicles fleeing and people running after the shooting. Investigators recovered numerous shell casings and other evidence; a handgun was recovered in the path of a fleeing vehicle. A suspect was detained after a foot chase, though the driver and other occupants of that vehicle eluded officers. A 16-year-old arrested while fleeing was later charged with aggravated murder and felonious assault in connection with an earlier killing and was being held in detention pending prosecution as an adult.

Detectives were working to establish the role of the apprehended individual and to identify additional suspects. Anyone with information about the shooting is asked to contact Akron police.
