On November 26, 2003, 50-year-old Gregory Peters was working at The Odd Corner, a head shop at 389 E. Exchange Street in Akron, Ohio, when he was fatally shot during a robbery. The shooting occurred while the store was open and Peters was on duty as a clerk.

The Akron Police Department continues to investigate, and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office has listed the killing in a cold case initiative. The Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation is also asking the public for tips. Gregory’s memorial and family accounts emphasize the suddenness of his loss and the many unanswered questions that remain.

If anyone has information about the robbery or the person or people responsible, please contact the Akron Police Department or the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
