Anthony Duane Tony Norman, a 32-year-old Black man, was fatally shot on July 12, 2018, in Akron, Ohio. The shooting occurred about 11:35 p.m. while Norman sat in his vehicle at 963 Concord Avenue; he was taken to Summa Akron City Hospital and later died of his injuries. Two children, ages 10 and 13, were in the car and were struck by gunfire but survived with non-life-threatening wounds. The children told loved ones Norman shielded them during the attack, and one child realized she had been shot while calling 911.

No arrests have been announced and the Akron Police Department continues to investigate. Norman’s death was reported as the fourth homicide in less than a week in Akron at that time, during a year when police said they had removed more than 450 guns from the streets. The case remains unsolved.
