Marvin Turhan Rocker, 33, of Akron, Ohio, was killed on October 4, 2015. He was a husband and father of six; funeral services were held at Stewart & Calhoun Funeral Home in Akron.

The investigation led to the arrest of 19-year-old Darrin Welch of Akron. A Summit County grand jury indicted Welch on two counts of murder and one count of felonious assault. Prosecutors tied Welch to the scene with a recorded statement and DNA evidence. Welch pleaded guilty to Rocker’s murder and was sentenced to life in prison; the judge designated him a Violent Offender, subjecting him to annual registration for 10 years if ever released on parole.

The community mourned Rocker and cited his death as part of broader concerns about gun violence in Akron. Does anyone have memories of Marvin or information about the case that could add to the record?
