Neiko Swesey, 25, of Akron, Ohio, was found dead from apparent gunshot wounds inside an apartment on the 1100 block of Keys Place on October 25, 2024. Officers responding to reports of shots fired around 10:25 PM discovered Swesey unresponsive; the Summit County Medical Examiner later confirmed his identity and ruled the death a homicide.

Investigators reported bullet holes in two unoccupied vehicles and in an apartment nearby, suggesting multiple rounds were fired and raising the possibility this was a targeted shooting or part of a broader incident. The Akron Police Department opened an investigation and, while no suspects in the homicide were immediately identified, a 20-year-old woman was arrested on charges of obstructing justice and misconduct during an emergency response; she was not considered a suspect in the killing.

Police asked anyone with information to contact detectives or submit anonymous tips through local crime stoppers. Does anyone have information about activity in the Keys Place area that night?
