Anthony D. Travis was a 30-year-old Black man from Akron, Ohio, and a father of two daughters. He was shot late on Wednesday, September 5, 2012, after an altercation in the street in the 800 block of Princeton Avenue. Witnesses and detectives say the dispute involved another man just before midnight; moments later an unknown person shot Travis.

He was found in a driveway with multiple gunshot wounds to his head and torso and died at Akron General Medical Center on the morning of Thursday, September 6, 2012. His death was ruled a homicide. His older brother Antoine Winfield, then a cornerback for the Minnesota Vikings, flew home for the funeral and described it as one of the toughest days of his life. No suspect has been publicly identified and no arrests have been announced; the case is listed on the Ohio Attorney General’s cold case database and remains under investigation.
