Ernest Sherman, 55, was shot in the head and killed at a home on Gold Street in Akron, Ohio, on January 16, 2018. The shooting occurred during an argument over a stolen gun; Sherman was pronounced dead at the scene. Another man present, James McMullen, escaped by jumping out of a second-floor window.

A 52-year-old woman, Hedy Moss, was arrested and charged in connection with the incident. Moss claimed she acted in self-defense, saying Sherman had pushed her against a wall, choked her, and prevented her from leaving the room, but prosecutors disputed that account and pointed to McMullen’s testimony and the physical evidence.

Sherman’s death deeply affected those who knew him and drew significant attention in Akron. If anyone knew Ernest, his movements that day, or has information about the events at the Gold Street home, please come forward.
