Akron has been reeling from protests over the fatal police shooting of a Black man nearly two weeks ago.
"There is a lot of heightened tension in the city right now," Akron Mayor Dan Horrigan said during a news conference following Friday's shooting.
The Summit County Medical Examiner office released the names of the two victims on Friday evening, identifying the man as Johnny L. Gaiter and the young girl as Journei Tolbert, both of whom are from Akron.
Around 9:15 p.m., police responded to a report of shots fired . . .
