Everette Templeton, 46, was found dead at his home on Brittain Road in Akron, Ohio, on May 8, 1997. His death was linked to an assault that occurred a week earlier on May 1, 1997. That night Templeton had been at Vicky’s Bar on East Market Street and became involved in a verbal altercation with several unknown people. Later that evening he was struck with a brick on Chippewa Avenue. When police responded to the scene of the attack Templeton was uncooperative and declined assistance, and he later returned home.

The injuries from the May 1 assault were determined to be the cause of death. No suspects have been identified and the case remains unsolved. The Akron Police Department and the Ohio Attorney General’s Office have publicized the case to generate tips and seek information that could help provide answers to Templeton’s family.

If anyone has information about Templeton’s movements that night or about the people he argued with at Vicky’s Bar, contact the Akron Police Department.
