Alondo Perry, 32, was shot to death on August 16, 2015, at a shared residence on 23rd Street Northwest in Canton, Ohio. Perry lived in the house with his housemate Jermaine Adams, Adams’ girlfriend Beth Hartsel and their child, Jessica Smith, and Carlton Trammel. On the evening of August 16, Perry and Adams went into Adams’ bedroom to watch television. Perry stepped out briefly to take a phone call and returned; Adams then asked Trammel to leave the room so the two could speak privately.

Trammel heard a muffled sound and someone scream, walked away, and later Perry was found dead in the bedroom, having been shot four times by Adams. Adams was arrested and charged with murder; the case, State v. Adams, was tried in the Stark County Court of Common Pleas. The trial record reports no prior indications of conflict between Adams and Perry, and the killing was described as an unexpected act of violence.

Was anyone in the neighborhood or who knew the household aware of tensions or changes in the weeks before August 16, 2015?
