Philip Hasan, 61, of Akron, Ohio, died on September 18, 2016 after an officer-involved shooting at an apartment building on Florida Avenue. Police responded about 3:30 p.m. after a man reported that Hasan had slammed his arm in a car door. Officers say Hasan walked toward a van in the lot and reached for an assault rifle despite verbal commands to stop, and an officer fired shots. No officers were injured and the officer involved was placed on paid administrative leave.

A neighbor who witnessed the encounter said the officer repeatedly ordered Hasan to drop the weapon before shooting. The Summit County Medical Examiner confirmed Hasan’s death. No arrests or suspects have been identified and the matter did not progress into litigation or a broader murder investigation beyond the initial report and administrative leave.

If anyone witnessed the incident or has information about Hasan’s actions that afternoon, please share what is known.
