Joel Paul Wells, known as Joey, was 31 when he was found fatally shot outside 470 Weeks Street in Akron, Ohio, on July 18, 2019. He was pronounced dead at the scene in the early morning hours. The Akron Police Department opened an investigation into his death.

No arrests have been made and the case remains unsolved. The Akron Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office offered a $30,000 reward for information leading to identification and arrest of the suspect. Investigators have said the inquiry has been hampered by a lack of eyewitnesses and physical evidence. Wells’ large family includes his daughters Breona, Zoey, Harlem, Phoenix, and Heiress Wells, his mother Paulette Wells-Robinson, his father James Wells, and several siblings; his funeral was held July 25, 2019, at First Apostolic Faith Church in Akron.
