Isaiah Heard, 25, of Canton, Ohio, was fatally shot on July 27, 2020. He was shot multiple times, including a wound to the heart, after being pursued and shot from behind while running away. The shooter, Lamont Buchanan, 21, of Akron, broke into a home where Heard’s ex-girlfriend was staying; an altercation inside preceded the pursuit and shooting outside.

The Stark County Coroner’s Office determined Heard’s death was due to the gunshot wounds. Buchanan was not legally permitted to possess a firearm because of a prior felony conviction. He was arrested, later pleaded guilty to attempted murder and felonious assault, and was sentenced to seven to nine years in prison.

What details about the break-in or the events leading up to the pursuit are still unclear to readers who followed the case?
