Isaiah Chapman was a 30-year-old mixed martial arts fighter from Akron, Ohio, who was shot and killed outside a home on Reed Avenue on April 7, 2020. He was taken to Summa Akron City Hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

Investigators say the shooter was motivated by jealousy over a woman. The man who admitted to the crime, Christopher Blouir, was also 30 years old and pleaded guilty to aggravated murder, two counts of murder, felonious assault, and carrying a concealed weapon; he received a prison term in June 2021. Chapman’s mother, Cassandra Wright, and his brother, Dory Bolden, spoke at sentencing about the impact of his death; his children Faith, Aubrey, and Isaac were left without their father.

Chapman was remembered as a devoted family man and a respected local fighter whose death deeply affected his community. If anyone knew Isaiah, his movements that night, or has information about the events on Reed Avenue, please come forward.
