Willie Brewer III, 17, was fatally shot in the afternoon of March 30, 2012, in front of the Mr. Pantry convenience store on Copley Road in Akron, Ohio. He was a student at Buchtel High School and was found at the scene with life-threatening injuries; despite emergency response he died from those wounds.

The shooting remains unsolved. No suspect has been identified and investigators have not developed concrete leads or witnesses willing to come forward, frustrating the ongoing investigation. The community and the Akron Police Department have urged anyone with information to speak up in hopes of bringing justice and closure to Brewer’s family.

If anyone saw the shooting, was in the area that afternoon, or has information that could help identify those responsible, please contact the Akron Police Department.
