Darian Hardison, 26, was shot and killed outside the Halftime Sports Pub on South Main Street in Akron, Ohio, on October 20, 2017. He was with a friend at the sports bar when an argument over cigarettes involved Derrick Comby and another man. Emergency medical technicians pronounced Hardison dead at the scene; Comby survived his wounds.

Police used CCTV from the pub during the investigation. The probe led to the arrest of Queitin Tyler. At trial Tyler, then 34, claimed self-defense, saying he feared for his life after the altercation. Prosecutors said Tyler returned to the bar, retrieved a gun from a friend, then came back outside and fired several shots. The jury found Tyler guilty of two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and one count of carrying a concealed weapon; he was sentenced to life with the possibility of parole after 23 years.

Hardison is remembered by family members including four children and a twin brother. Does anyone who knew Darian or who was near the pub that night have information to share?
