Jaevierre Pete Lamont Greer was 22 when he was fatally shot on April 19, 2023, while working as a DoorDash delivery driver in Akron, Ohio. The shooting happened around 11:30 p.m. in the parking lot of the Timberland Village Apartments on Timber Trail after two assailants reportedly followed him to the delivery location. Greer was taken to Cleveland Clinic Akron General Medical Center and died the next morning.

Two Akron men were arrested in connection with the killing: 21-year-old Matthew Couch and 19-year-old Derek Ransome-Fromby. They were initially charged with felonious assault, with additional charges including murder pending. Reports say Greer had been involved in a verbal altercation with the suspects earlier that evening in the Highland Square area and had been ambushed. Greer had also survived an earlier ambush shooting in July 2022 that left him with multiple gunshot wounds and a lengthy hospital stay; authorities have investigated possible links between the incidents but have not established any.

Greer’s family remembers him as a beloved son and brother who liked making jokes and spending time with loved ones. Did anyone in the Akron area see Greer that night or have information about the Highland Square altercation?
