Maria V. Clepper Nash was 19 when she was fatally shot on April 18, 2013, while visiting three friends inside a townhouse on Kimlyn Circle in the Chapel Hill area of Akron, Ohio. All four people in the unit were shot in the head; Maria did not survive the attack.

Maria had faced personal losses before her death: her mother, DeShawn Clepper, died the year prior, and Maria had been raised for many years by her grandmother. She planned to pursue a career in criminal justice and was remembered by family as a caring young woman of strong faith. No suspects or motive have been identified and the investigation remains open.

If anyone has information about the shooting at the Kimlyn Circle townhouse or knew Maria and her circle of friends, please share what you know with the Akron authorities.
