Donte Alexander, 29, of Akron was fatally shot in the neck on December 15, 2018, in Canton, Ohio. The shooting occurred in a school parking lot on Midway Avenue NE during a planned fistfight between two other men. Reports say Curtis J. Williams fired six shots at the back of Tameez Moore’s SUV; one bullet struck Alexander.

Both Curtis James Williams and Mitch Anthony Greenlief were arrested and charged with complicity to commit murder. Williams was convicted and given a sentence of at least 25 years, while Greenlief received a 30-month sentence for his role. Family members described profound grief, and Alexander’s mother spoke about the void his death left for his children.

The case has been framed in court as a tragedy that began with a disputed fight and escalated into lethal violence.
