Justin Robert Winebrenner, a 32-year-old Akron Police Department officer, was killed on November 16, 2014. He was off-duty and at a pub on the 1800 block of East Market Street when a disorderly patron, later identified as Kenan Ivery, was ejected and returned armed with a handgun, threatening staff and customers. A staff member who knew Winebrenner was an officer alerted him, and he and another off-duty officer confronted the armed man. During that confrontation, Winebrenner was shot once in the chest and died from the wound.

The shooting also wounded another officer and three civilians; the suspect fled on foot and was later captured about a mile away. Winebrenner was a father to a four-year-old daughter, Charlee, and engaged to Tiffany Miller. Thousands attended his funeral procession and memorials honoring his service.
