Fight breaks out in court hallway after teen sentenced for Akron METRO bus murder.
AKRON, Ohio — Tension from a sentencing hearing in a murder case at the Summit County courthouse spilled into the hallway on Tuesday leading to a fight between two families.
The advocate hit her head on wall and went to an urgent care for treatment, according to James Pollack, a spokesperson for the prosecutor's office. Jackson was 17-years-old when he shot Howell 10 times on a bus at the Downtown Akron METRO station in May of 2021. "There's nothing I can do to bring him, but I just want to let you know that you really hurt me," Howell said."How would you feel if that was your mom? And you sit up here, it's like you have a smirk on your face. It's like you don't care."
Before she handed down the sentence, Judge Croce stressed the deadly shooting was tragedy for both families and the community as a whole.
