Shawn Prude, 20, of Akron, Ohio, was shot and killed on November 20, 2018, outside the Family Food & Deli on South Arlington Street. He was found lying in the road with multiple gunshot wounds and was pronounced dead at the scene.

Authorities arrested 21-year-old Akron resident Devon Williams shortly after the shooting. Williams was charged with murder and later maintained at trial that he shot Prude because he feared for his life, citing a volatile history between them that included previous incidents in which Prude allegedly attacked him. In May 2019 Williams was convicted on multiple counts, including two counts of murder, and received life in prison with parole possible after 25 years; he plans to appeal. Family members spoke at sentencing about their grief and anger.

Does anyone have information about Shawn’s final hours at the Family Food & Deli or remember seeing something that night?
