Jimmie Holland Jr., a 38-year-old African American man from Lorain, Ohio, was murdered during a robbery at his Lexington Avenue apartment on August 29, 2016. He was the CEO of Holland Inc., a computer repair and programming company he founded in 2001, and was remembered by family for his love of basketball, video games, and time with his children.

Elliott Kirkland, 29, of Lorain, was found guilty of aggravated murder, murder, aggravated robbery, and aggravated burglary in connection with Holland’s death and received life without parole plus three years on a firearm specification. Two others were implicated: Mark Sanchez, who was present in the apartment and received a 14-year sentence after testifying against Kirkland; and Jasmine Schafer, who identified Holland as a target and received three years of community control as part of a plea agreement. Latrice A. Thomas pleaded guilty to obstructing justice and received a similar sentence.

The family’s statements at sentencing described the ongoing pain of their loss and Holland’s role as a father and community member. Does anyone have additional information about Holland’s life or the incident that could help fill gaps in the timeline?
