Investigators say the younger teen admitted he opened fire on another vehicle during a confrontation on the entrance ramp from East Tallmadge Avenue to State Route 8 South. Afterward, detectives allege, he ditched the gun and drove off in the car used in the incident. The 17-year-old, who was riding in that same vehicle, was shot and later died at Akron Children’s Hospital, police said.
Officers were called just after midnight to the southbound SR-8 entrance ramp on reports of shots fired. At the scene, they found multiple shell casings, according to WOIO.
Police say a 28-year-old driver whose car was hit by gunfire told investigators he shot back through his windshield, then left the area and called authorities. Detectives are still sorting out how that exchange unfolded and which shots struck the 17-year-old passenger.
