On the evening of May 1, 2016, 48-year-old Sonia Freeman and her 28-year-old son Christopher Lane-Freeman were shot and killed in their Hartford Avenue home in Akron, Ohio. A 9-year-old daughter called 911 after being awakened by her mother’s screams. Police say three intruders entered the house around 10:00 p.m.; Christopher was shot multiple times in an upstairs bedroom and died at the scene, while Sonia was found near the stairs with a single gunshot wound to the abdomen and later died at Akron General Hospital.

Two people were arrested in connection with the robbery and killings. One was Jaysaun Holley, 16 at the time, who pleaded guilty to two counts of involuntary manslaughter and one count of aggravated burglary and received a 25-year sentence. The other was Shaquille Anderson, 26 at the time, who was convicted on multiple charges including two counts of aggravated murder and received four consecutive life terms without parole plus an additional 98 years.

Sonia Freeman was remembered for her compassion and involvement in her church; Christopher Lane-Freeman worked at the Akron Art Museum. Did anyone in the community have contact with them around that time or information that could shed more light on what happened that night?
