Deontae D. Henderson, 24, was fatally shot outside his Sumner Street home in Akron, Ohio, on June 28, 2017. Investigators say a 17-year-old, Antonio Poole, lured Henderson outside and shot him in the head. Henderson was taken to Summa Akron City Hospital, where he died of his injuries.

Poole was arrested and originally faced aggravated murder and murder charges. He later pleaded guilty to involuntary manslaughter with a gun specification and having a weapon under disability. In May 2019, the judge sentenced Poole to 12 years in prison, noting issues including Poole’s age and learning disabilities during sentencing. Henderson’s family publicly expressed grief and frustration, and the case drew strong reactions in the Akron community.
