Eryc Ahmir Higgins, an 18-year-old African American male from Akron, Ohio, was killed in a double-homicide shooting in Canton on August 30, 2016. He and 35-year-old Joshua Weatherspoon were found dead in the kitchen of Weatherspoon’s home on the 2400 block of Midway Avenue NE. A woman and three children, ages 11 months, two years, and four years, were present in the home at the time.

Police identified 21-year-old Isaiah Sanders as the suspect and charged him with aggravated robbery and two counts of complicity to commit murder; he was arrested about a week later and held on $3 million bond. Prosecutors said the killings grew out of a plot in which Sanders and Higgins were to rough up Weatherspoon at the direction of Sanders’ then‑girlfriend, Brooke D. Clemons. During the encounter Weatherspoon resisted, a scuffle occurred, and shots were fired; there was no testimony that Weatherspoon was armed.

Clemons later pleaded guilty to multiple complicity charges and received a 13-year sentence; Sanders was convicted of murder and other charges and given a 45-year to life sentence. Does anyone have additional information about Higgins’ life or about what happened that night?
