Brian Brack, 24, of Canton, Ohio, was fatally shot on January 7, 2017, at an apartment building on Woodgate Boulevard in Ravenna. Austin Tiller, 20, of Cuyahoga Falls, was also killed in the same incident; a woman suffered a gunshot wound to the leg.

Authorities charged Javon Thomas, 27, of Akron, with the killings. At trial Thomas said he acted in self-defense and used his legally owned .380-caliber Micro Desert Eagle, but a jury rejected that claim and convicted him of two counts of murder, two counts of felonious assault, and one count of misdemeanor negligent homicide. Testimony indicated Brack, Thomas, and one of Thomas’ friends were armed at the time; Tiller was unarmed. Thomas was sentenced to 36 years to life for the deaths of Brack and Tiller.

Brian Brack was remembered by his family as a loving brother with a bright future. Does anyone have information about the events at the Woodgate Boulevard apartment that night?
