Shawn Polo Fann Jr., a 30-year-old father of five from Akron, was shot and killed on April 8, 2021, inside the McDonald’s where he worked as an opening manager in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio. The shooting happened around 1:30 p.m.; Fann was struck in the chest and later pronounced dead at Summa Akron City Hospital. Coworker Christopher Riddick, 34, confronted Fann inside the restaurant, fled the scene, but was found walking nearby with a loaded .40 caliber handgun and arrested shortly afterward.

Surveillance video captured the killing, and Riddick later confessed, saying he had come to work intending to kill Fann and that they had an ongoing personal disagreement. He was charged with aggravated murder and held on $1 million bond; the case was bound over to Summit County Court. Fann’s family and coworkers describe him as hardworking, funny and a devoted father; the restaurant owner offered to place a memorial in the lobby.

If anyone who worked at or visited that McDonald’s that day has information about the confrontation, please share what you know.
