Dennis Vietmeier, 75, was shot and killed at a home on the 500 block of Cynthia Lane in Tallmadge, Ohio, on July 6, 2025. A 911 call shortly after 11 a.m. reported a man not breathing; officers and EMS found Vietmeier with a gunshot wound to the torso and he was taken to Summa Health Akron City Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:45 a.m.

Investigators identified the 911 caller as the victim’s son, Ryan Vietmeier, 43. Police say the son told the dispatcher during the call that he had shot his father; officers detained him at the scene without incident. Ryan Vietmeier was charged with murder and domestic violence and was booked into the Summit County Jail and arraigned on July 7 in Stow Municipal Court. Authorities described the incident as an isolated domestic event and said there was no ongoing threat while the investigation continued.

The community response included public memorial listings noting the date and location of the killing. Does anyone have information about the family or the events leading up to that morning?
