Kem R. Delaney, 23, was killed on April 18, 2013, in Akron, Ohio. A lifetime resident and active member of Second Sweet Home Church, he also played as a pitcher in the West Akron Little League. Delaney was one of four people shot in the face during an escalating robbery at an Akron Metropolitan Housing Authority townhouse on Kimlyn Circle off Independence Avenue; the other victims were Michael Roberts, Kiana Welch, and Maria Nash.

Investigators linked the aggravated robbery to heroin trafficking, saying heroin was a principal factor in the crime. Two suspects, Derrick Brantley and DeShannon Haywood, were accused in the executions and were charged with capital murder and taken to trial. The community held vigils and memorials for the victims while family and friends sought justice and closure.

If anyone knew Kem, his activities in West Akron Little League, or has information about the case, please come forward.
