AKRON: A security guard was shot and killed Saturday night outside the Game 7 Bar and Grille at 627 S. Arlington St., marking the second death at the establishment in two months.
Akron police say they responded to a call around 9 p.m. that a 33-year-old male was standing near the front, west-side door of the bar when he was shot in the hip.
The victim was transported to Summa Akron City Hospital, where he died of his injuries. His name is being withheld until his family is notified.
Police charged Thomas Dunn III, 19, of Longview Street and Anthony Cox, 21, of Edmeyer Court with obstructing justice. They were both booked into Summit County Jail, though police haven’t positively identified the shooting suspect or filed charges yet.
This is the second shooting death of the year at the bar. On Jan. 28, D’Cortez Taylor, 23, was found shot to death inside his vehicle in the bar’s parking lot.
Detectives haven’t identified any suspects in Taylor’s death and are still investigating the incident.
