A domestic dispute in the early morning hours of November 29, 2025, in Akron, Ohio, ended in a fatal attack at a Miles Avenue residence. Rebecca Lee Guthrie, 44, was at home with her boyfriend and her two adult children when a verbal argument between Guthrie and her boyfriend escalated into violence. The boyfriend, identified as 38-year-old Gregory Tillman, allegedly stabbed Guthrie multiple times and then shot her as she tried to flee.

Officers arriving about 2:10 a.m. found Guthrie unresponsive on the living room floor; she was pronounced dead at the scene at 2:31 a.m. Guthrie’s 25-year-old son was shot while trying to intervene and was taken to a hospital in stable condition. Tillman fled briefly but was located and taken into custody; authorities charged him with murder, felonious assault and having weapons while under disability, and a Summit County grand jury later indicted him on charges connected to Guthrie’s death and the shooting of her son.

Is there anyone who knew Rebecca or the family who can share information about what led up to that night?
