Melvin Wayne Peters, 64, was found dead in his bedroom at a home on Cordova Avenue in Akron, Ohio, on November 30, 2019. He had suffered a gunshot wound to his back while visiting his girlfriend’s house; the girlfriend is the mother of the suspect.

Police arrested 27-year-old Donnell Lawson, identified in reports as Peters’ nephew and as being present at the home when the shooting occurred. Lawson admitted to shooting Peters and was charged with aggravated murder. The case involved close family ties and ended with criminal charges stemming from an apparently domestic visit that turned deadly.

Are there details about Peters’ life or his movements that anyone in the Cordova Avenue area can add to help clarify what happened that night?
