On March 25, 2026, deputies in Ravenna, Ohio, conducted a welfare check at a Summit Road residence and forced entry after seeing someone slumped in a chair through a window. Inside, 78-year-old Connie S. Edens and 70-year-old Donald Edens, identified as a couple, were found dead from gunshot wounds to the head.

The Portage County Sheriff’s Office is investigating the incident as gun violence. As of late March 2026, no suspects or arrests had been announced and investigators continued to work to determine what happened and why. The deaths left the local community seeking answers about the circumstances that led to both victims being killed.

If anyone has information about Connie or Donald Edens, their movements before March 25, or anything seen near the Summit Road home, please share what is known.
