David Manuel Barreiro, 23, of Lorain, Ohio, was killed in his Shore Drive apartment on December 10, 2016. A self-taught musician who performed and produced as Dae Billz, Barreiro ran his own music studio and was the father of a two-year-old daughter, Kailani.

Barreiro was struck four times and died of his injuries. Investigators identified a suspect, Abline Cannon, and charged him with aggravated murder, felonious assault, tampering with evidence and weapons under disability. Cannon was also found hiding in an apartment in Kent after fleeing the scene and leaving a hospital against medical advice. Cannon’s mother and sister were arrested on obstruction-related charges for allegedly providing false information.

Prosecutors said physical and circumstantial evidence tied Cannon to the scene, including DNA that matched Cannon’s blood, shell casings and bullet holes; the defense said Cannon was present during a drug sale when the shooting occurred.
